Subject: [dpdk-users] Basic doubt on testpmd app working on x86_64 linux host
Date: Wed, 7 Jul 2021 18:03:24 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAP2OjcgGqwD7vx4xaRkT3mj7SRLBKVwa+oqnTh-CRcoS+yA2fA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi Members ,
I am trying to learn DPDK on my laptop for which I installed
dpdk-stable-19.11.8 +
testpmd on x86_64 linux host
( will move to latest DPDK once i have some idea )
When I tried testpmd , I had below gaps in my understanding / doubts .
If member's can please provide some pointer on below point :
1) NUMA socket -1
I am trying to understand DPDK using testpmd.
When i execute testpmd , i am getting the below message .
Are these normal message or something is wrong in my setup
EAL: PCI device 0000:00:1f.6 on NUMA socket -1
EAL: Invalid NUMA socket, default to 0
2) What is the memory-channels parameter usage ,which is being passed to
testpmd.
3) Do we have any logical loopback mode in DPDK?
So that we can try tx & rx logically without being dependent on hardware
ports
4) How to know if the ethernet should be binded to IGB-UIO or VFIO module
As of now , i try both & continue with which doesn't throw errors.
I am reading the Documentation but felt short for these aspects
& hence thought to check with the community for any pointers / guidance.
Apologies if these are vary basic in nature as i am just starting with DPDK
environment
Thanks ,
Ashish
