[dpdk-dev] Fwd: Rx Error when two pktgen sending packet to each other at the same time on Intel 82599ES 10G

[dpdk-dev] Fwd: Rx Error when two pktgen sending packet to each other at the same time on Intel 82599ES 10G

Hi,

I am doing experiments about packet classification algorithm and I found I
always get RX Error when the throughput is too high, so I did the following
experiments.

There are two PC servers (A and B), each of them has a Intel 82599ES 10G
with two ports(1 and 2). And they are connected to each other. I simply run
pktgen on both server.

When I start one of the server and let it generate 10Gb/s traffic each
port, which is start A1 and A2. I can receive the 10Gb/s traffic on the
other server's every port.

When I start one port of the two servers and let them generate 10Gb/s
traffic to each other, which is start A1 and B1. Both the port show that
they can receive 10Gb/s and send 10Gb/s traffic.

But When I start both port on both server, which is start A1, A2, B1, B2,
each port shows it can generate 10Gb/s but it can only receive 6.7Gb/s
traffic and the left 3.3Gb/s are considered RX Error.

When I stop one of the ports, which is start A1, B1, B2, On server A I
receive 8.1Gb/s on A1, 8.4Gb/s on A2, while A1 is sending 10Gb/s traffic,
the traffic left is considered RX Error. I receive 10Gb/s traffic on B1,
sending 10Gb/s traffic on B1 and B2.

My parameter is -c 0xff -n 4 -- -P -m "[1:2].0, [3:4].1", but it won't
change when I assign more lcore on RX queue.

I'm thinking it maybe is the parameter problem, such as the Hugepage or
others, is there any solution or advices?

Are the cores 1, 2, 3, 4 on different physical cores each or do they share a physical core?

One of the issues is the PCI bus on some NICs has a bottle neck on the bus and limits the amount of traffic for a given NIC. This could be your problem, but I do not know if these NICs have that problem.
