[dpdk-ci] [dpdklab] Re: Intel performance test is failing

[Brandon Lo]

Hi Zhaoyan,

Currently, we have a system in place that resets any changes made while
testing is enabled for a machine.
If you would like, I can disable testing and allow you to make permanent
changes.

I can also reset the baseline of Intel 10G test performance once you make
these changes.
Please let me know if you would like to make permanent changes on the Intel
10G so I can disable it for you.

Thanks
