[dpdk-dev] DPDK QoS performance issue in DPDK 1.4.1.

[Jim Jia]

 Hello, everyone!
      I have a question about DPDK's QoS Library performance. These days, I am tesing  DPDK's QoS Library performance using the DPDK example, qos_sched. Before I try to do the test,  I modified profile.cfg. In my opinion,  there should be no packet dropped  by qos_sched when it is processing packets at about 3Gbps, 64bit.  However, I find qos_sched would drop a few packets (about 30) at that case. Is it normal phenomenon? Or did I do anything wrong? I am so amazed in the results. I need help. Thanks a lot!

my profile.cfg  as following:

; Port configuration
[port]
frame overhead = 24
number of subports per port = 1
number of pipes per subport = 2
queue sizes = 64 64 64 64
