Why this application testing the packet forwarding?, We already have testpmd for that. IMO, This application needs to focus only on - Insertion performance - Deletion performance - IMO, it is better to add a framework for the profile where the first version of this application can define common a set of ITEMS and set of ACTION and later others can extend it. And the framework can run over all the profiles and spit out the insertion and deletion performance. > > The app supports single and multi core performance > measurements. > > Signed-off-by: Wisam Jaddo > --- > app/Makefile | 1 + > app/meson.build | 1 + # Update MAINTAINERS file # Add doc for this test under doc/guides/tools/ # Please update release notes
