r8169 throughput

[Howard Wang]

Dear Thomas,

As you expected, I have attached the throughput under this release.
My testing was conducted using pktgen 24.10.3. I just set the size 
and then start all. The test results are as follows:

size/throughput        rtl8125b        rtl8126
64                    1709 MBit/s      3080 MBit/s
128                   2272 MBit/s      4265 MBit/s
256                   2500 MBit/s      4982 MBit/s
512                   2500 MBit/s      5000 MBit/s
1024                  2500 MBit/s      5000 MBit/s                  
1280                  2500 MBit/s      5000 MBit/s
1518                  2500 MBit/s      5000 MBit/s

Best regards,

Interesting, thank you.

Do you plan to support more devices?

答复: r8169 throughput

[王颢]

Dear Thomas,

Sure, r8169pmd will support more network cards, such as the 1G NICs (rtl8168 series).
