Subject: [dpdk-users] TX-dropped is high while sending custom packet via testpmd app
Date: Tue, 16 Jul 2019 15:01:12 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <a61f6c41-05db-0936-bf6c-90313bb18be5@cse.iitb.ac.in> (raw)
Hello,
we are trying to send packets from the testpmd to another machine
with DPDK running.
We are building custom packets before sending it on the wire.
After running the application the TX-dropped is quite high (can be
inferred from following logs : )
$ sudo ./testpmd -c f -w 01:00.1 -- --nb-cores=2
--eth-peer=0,A4:BF:01:37:23:AB --rxq=1 --txq=1

What could be the reason for such packet drop? What tuning of
buffer/queue size affects this ?
How to set optimal setting for high performance?
