[ICE DPDK 21.11] Latency bump at certain rate

[Anantharam, Arjun]

Hi,

I believe the suggestion here would be to try the new "rx_low_latency=1" option enabled with DPDK 21.11:

*        Low Rx latency (default 0)
vRAN workloads require low latency DPDK interface for the front haul interface connection to Radio. By specifying 1 for parameter rx_low_latency, each completed Rx descriptor can be written immediately to host memory and the Rx interrupt latency can be reduced to 2us:
-a 0000:88:00.0,rx_low_latency=1
As a trade-off, this configuration may cause the packet processing performance degradation due to the PCI bandwidth limitation.


If they are using an old DPDK version, they can try to backport below patch
