Subject: [dpdk-dev] Fwd: OVS with DPDK ..Error packets

(+DPDK dev team )


Hello ,

I am trying to test the OVS_DPDK performance and found that lot of packets
being treated as error packets .

ovs-vsctl get Interface dpdk0 statistics
{collisions=0, rx_bytes=38915076374, rx_crc_err=0, rx_dropped=0,
*rx_errors=3840287219
<3840287219>, *rx_frame_err=0, rx_over_err=0, rx_packets=292972799,
tx_bytes=38935883904, tx_dropped=0, tx_errors=0, tx_packets=293068162}

I am running DPDK application inside my VM .

Looks like there is a buffer issue ( 64Bytes - 10Gbps)

Could  somebody let me know if i have missed any configuration in DPDK/OVS ?

Errors can show here when you are sending traffic in at a rate higher than can
be handled, so it can be normal to see that in some cases. 

First thing I would check is that you have your PMD(s) and qemu threads doing
the fwding core affinitised to different cores so they get the max amount of
cycles they can. 

I would also check a simple phy-phy test to eliminate any test equipment/NIC
setup issues.
