[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2 1/5] testpmd: add retry option

Zhihong Wang zhihong.wang at intel.com
Wed Jun 1 05:27:39 CEST 2016


This patch adds retry option in testpmd to prevent most packet losses.
It can be enabled by "set fwd <mode> retry". All modes except rxonly
support this option.

Adding retry mechanism expands test case coverage to support scenarios
where packet loss affects test results.
