3 # Script for max single flow performance
4 # - If correctly tuned[1], single CPU 10G wirespeed small pkts is possible[2]
6 # Using pktgen "burst" option (use -b $N)
7 # - To boost max performance
8 # - Avail since: kernel v3.18
9 # * commit 38b2cf2982dc73 ("net: pktgen: packet bursting via skb->xmit_more")
10 # - This avoids writing the HW tailptr on every driver xmit
11 # - The performance boost is impressive, see commit and blog [2]
13 # Notice: On purpose generates a single (UDP) flow towards target,
14 # reason behind this is to only overload/activate a single CPU on
15 # target host. And no randomness for pktgen also makes it faster.
