[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 1/2] testpmd: add parameters buffersize-before-send and flush-timeout

Jens Freimann jfreimann at redhat.com
Thu Apr 12 16:34:21 CEST 2018


Create a fifo to buffer received packets. Once it flows over put
those packets into the actual tx queue. The fifo is created per tx
queue and its size can be set with the --buffersize-before-sending
commandline parameter.

A second commandline parameter is used to set a timeout in
milliseconds after which the fifo is flushed.

--buffersize-before-sending [packet numbers]
Keep the mbuf in a FIFO and forward the over flooding packets from the
FIFO. This queue is per TX-queue (after all other packet processing).

--flush-timer [delay]
Flush the packet queue if no packets have been seen during
[delay]. As long as packets are seen, the timer is reset.
