Subject: [dpdk-dev] Clarification on latency at NIC line rate..
Date: Thu, 3 Mar 2016 11:35:09 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAA=abZ_rnCLGBTWYAT4KdjoNoWD+mS0nF-7Eq_jVYpmcF9GYsQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi DPDK community,


      I have been experimenting with dpdk eth_tx send on ixgbe pmd (82599 NIC)
      I am seeing the following behavior
         When i pass 1500 bytes at 9.99GB traffic -- latency looks
fine (25 microseconds)
         but when i pass 1500 bytes hitting 10GB traffic(line rate)
-- latency spikes (160 microseconds) and stays forever
         once the traffic returns back to 9.99GB traffic latency also
returns back to normal (25 microseconds)


      Is this expected behaviour ?  Is there any way to reduce the 160
microseconds line rate issue.  Thanks Team

Regards,

Saravanan
