Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v6 2/5] app/flow-perf: add insertion rate calculation
Date: Mon, 11 May 2020 11:08:08 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200511110811.11474-3-wisamm@mellanox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200511110811.11474-1-wisamm@mellanox.com>

Add insertion rate calculation feature into flow
performance application.

The application now provide the ability to test
insertion rate of specific rte_flow rule, by
stressing it to the NIC, and calculate the
insertion rate.

The application offers some options in the command
line, to configure which rule to apply.

After that the application will start producing
rules with same pattern but increasing the outer IP
source address by 1 each time, thus it will give
different flow each time, and all other items will
have open masks.

The current design have single core insertion rate.
In the future we may have a multi core insertion
rate measurement support in the app.

+Flow Performance Tool
 =====================
 
 Application for rte_flow performance testing.
+The application provide the ability to test insertion rate of specific
+rte_flow rule, by stressing it to the NIC, and calculate the insertion
+rate.
+
+The application offers some options in the command line, to configure
+which rule to apply.
+
+After that the application will start producing rules with same pattern
+but increasing the outer IP source address by 1 each time, thus it will
+give different flow each time, and all other items will have open masks.
+
+
+Known Limitations
+=================
+
+The current version has limitations which can be removed in future:
+
+* Support outer items up to tunnel layer only.
+* Single core insertion only.
