Hi Qiming & dpdk dev team:

This is Amy from Advantech, we have a question about I226 DPDK loopback pktgen, could you please give us some advice?


We bind the I226 devices with vfio-pci driver and execute the DPDK pktgen. However, the link speed of both I226 are only 1G, we expected the link seepd is 2.5G.
Do you have any suggestions? Thanks!

Testing procedure & result:

root@FWA-1013-efi:~# modprobe uio
root@FWA-1013-efi:~# modprobe vfio-pci
root@FWA-1013-efi:~# echo 2048 > /sys/devices/system/node/node0/hugepages/hugepages-2048kB/nr_hugepages
root@FWA-1013-efi:~# mkdir -p /mnt/huge
root@FWA-1013-efi:~# mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/huge
root@FWA-1013-efi:~# dpdk-devbind.py -b vfio-pci 02:00.0
root@FWA-1013-efi:~# dpdk-devbind.py -b vfio-pci 03:00.0
root@FWA-1013-efi:~# pktgen --main-lcore 1 -c 0000001f -n 3 -a 02:00.0 -a 03:00.0 --socket-mem=512 --file-prefix=dpdk_pktgen -- -P -T --crc-strip -m '[0].0,[0].1'en -- -P -T --crc-strip -m '[0].0,[0].1'
