Subject: [dpdk-dev] KNI performance is not what is claimed
Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2018 11:10:55 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180920111055.54d32242@xeon-e3> (raw)

I wonder if KNI is claiming performance that was never measured on current CPU, OS, DPDK.

With single stream and TCP testing on IXGBE (DPDK), I see lowest performance with KNI.

		Rx		Tx
	KNI	3.2 Gbit/sec	1.3 Gbit/sec
	TAP	4.9		4.7
	Virtio	5.6		8.6

Perhaps for 18.11 we should change documentation to remove language claiming
better performance with KNI, and then plan for future deprecation?
