People generally seem to have a hardtime understanding why I'm using 64byte packets and measuring PPS, when tuning the network stack. People keep telling me this is artificial benchmarking, which is true, but there is another reason behind these measurements. Which I have described in this blogpost: http://netoptimizer.blogspot.dk/2014/09/packet-per-sec-measurements-for.html I'm basically leveraging the PPS measurements to deduct the nanosec improvements I'm making to the code. -- Best regards, Jesper Dangaard Brouer MSc.CS, Sr. Network Kernel Developer at Red Hat Author of http://www.iptv-analyzer.org LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/brouer
