2021-03-15Fix the tuned optimizationsLuc Provoost1-1/+1
tuned-adm is now run through check_prox_system_setup.sh at the first system startup/reboot. This will result in the correct grub cmdline parameters. We are also coying the default rapid_rsa_key in the authorized_keys of the rapid user, which is now the default user to run the tests. Fixed also an issue in handle_mirror.c: using now ETYPE_IPv4. Changed deploycentostools.sh to reflect the changes done when building the image with disk-image-create.

2021-02-10Improve prefetching in handle_mirrorLuc Provoost1-3/+3
Some of the prefetching code was commented out, which was wrong. The prefetching is back in. Change-Id: Id7e7f09bd62faa7b9faf3d677962a99ba2a71080 Signed-off-by: Luc Provoost <luc.provoost@intel.com>
2021-02-10Expand mirror functionalityLuc Provoost1-6/+37
In order to deal with non-symmetrical load, the mirror function can now change the packet size of each packet it receives. It can also send the incoming packet multiple times on each of the tx ports. To support this feature, 2 new parameters in the cfg file have been added for the mirror mode: - multiplier: specifies how many times a packet needs to be sent on each tx port. Default is 1. - mirror_size: the size of the packets that need to be sent. This will just change (increase) the packet size of each incoming packet. If not specified or invalid value (e.g. <64), the size will not be changed. The packet size will only be changed for IPv4 UDP and IPv4 TCP. Note that these parameters have no effect on the mirror copy submode. Change-Id: Ic46b52abdd80ed51cffee667bd04ade9ec23ff6d Signed-off-by: Luc Provoost <luc.provoost@intel.com>
2018-05-25Increase default mbuf size and code simplification/cleanupXavier Simonart1-4/+2
mbuf size was setup to achieve the best performance i.e. using the smallest mbuf and not segmenting packets. However this resulted in complex code, much dependent of the way the pmd are working e.g. a change(fix) in recent dpdk i40e implementation caused a 1782 (=1518+8+256) bytes mbuf to be too small to hold a 1518 bytes packets. Hence this change simplifies the mbuf size selection at the price of a potential decreases in performance - as more memory is now used. Except if jumbo frames are used, the mbuf size will now be the same for all modes. The packets will not be segmented except if jumbo frames are enabled. If jumbo frames are enabled, packets are by default segmented, except if the mbuf size is configured big enough in the config file.

2017-07-14Adding PROX(Packet pROcessing eXecution engine) VNF to sampleVNFDeepak S1-0/+161
JIRA: SAMPLEVNF-55 PROX is a DPDK-based application implementing Telco use-cases such as a simplified BRAS/BNG, light-weight AFTR... It also allows configuring finer grained network functions like QoS, Routing, load-balancing... (We are moving PROX version v039 to sampleVNF https://01.org/intel-data-plane-performance-demonstrators/prox-overview) Change-Id: Ia3cb02cf0e49ac5596e922c197ff7e010293d033 Signed-off-by: Deepak S <deepak.s@linux.intel.com>
