Subject: [dpdk-users] low Tx throughputs in DPDK with Mellanox ConnectX-3 card
Date: Sat, 22 Jul 2017 00:05:51 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6AEDAD78-67AD-49D7-A3AD-6D3B950B9695@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi all,

I have some problem when generating packets to the Mellanox ConnectX-3 dual 40G ports card from the latest pktgen-dpdk.

The problem is that it can only generate ~22Gbps per port (actually I just use one port.), not saturating the 40G port. This server has two 12-cores E5-2650 v4 @2.20GHz cpus and 128G 2400MHz DDR4 memory. The DPDK version is 16.11.

This is the driver bound to the NIC:   0000:81:00.0 'MT27500 Family [ConnectX-3]' if=p6p1,p6p2 drv=mlx4_core unused=
I guess that it’s the problem of driver. The document shows the driver name should be librte_pmd_mlx4 (url: http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/nics/mlx4.html <http://dpdk.org/doc/guides/nics/mlx4.html>), however when completing installation, it’s bound to mlx4_core.

Any clue about this problem? And whether it’s caused by the driver or others?

Many thanks,
Zhilong.
