Hi, (Sorry had to resend this to some recipients due to mail server problems). Just confirming that I can still reproduce the regression with single core and 64B frames on other servers. - Ali

Ali, You reported some performance regression, did you confirm it? If I get no reply by monday, I'll proceed with this patch.Sure I'll confirm by Monday. Doesn't the regression also reproduce on the Lab's Intel servers? Even though the check iol-intel-Performance isn't failing, I can see that the throughput differences from expected for this patch are less than those of another patch that was tested only 20 minutes earlier. Both patches were applied to the same tree: https://mails.dpdk.org/archives/test-report/2021-January/173927.htmlquoted

| 64 | 512 | 2.698 |Assuming that pw86457 doesn't have an effect on this test, it looks to me that this patch caused a regression in Intel hardware as well. Can someone update the baseline's expected values for the Intel NICs and rerun the test on this patch? Thanks, Ali
