Hi Jamal,

Can you please provide a simple "tc" command that implements "tc drop"?

Then, I'll add this to the series of tests I'm using for (what I call)
"zoom-in" benchmarking.

Thanks Jesper.

Something simple since this is done in ingress; lets say drop icmp
packets:

export ETH=eth0
export TC=/sbin/tc
#delete existing ingress qdisc - flushes all filters/actions
sudo $TC qdisc del dev $ETH ingress
#re-add ingress
sudo $TC qdisc add dev $ETH ingress
#
#simple rule to drop all icmp
sudo $TC filter add dev $ETH parent ffff: prio 4 protocol ip \
u32 match ip protocol 1 0xff flowid 1:1 \
action drop

# other type of filters if you want to compare instead of above
#
# a)drop all
sudo $TC filter add dev $ETH parent ffff: prio 2 protocol ip \
u32 match u32 0 0 flowid 1:1 \
action drop
#b) drop if src is XXX
sudo $TC filter add dev $ETH parent ffff: prio 2 protocol ip \
u32 match ip src 192.168.100.1 flowid 1:1 \
action drop

If you can do one core vs many cores (XDP should probably do very well
in multi-core)

I think given how ancient the e1000 is we may see the driver being
a contributing overhead. I believe XDP given location will do
well - but for this kind of driver my gut feeling is probably not
by large margin.

cheers,
