TCP UPD performance test

Report TCP or UDP performance

Get the performance statistics of TCP UDP traffic and report it.

1. Configure Rx checksum offload on IUT interface if specified

2. Configure GRO on IUT interface if specified

3. Configure HW VLAN stripping on IUT interface if specified

4. Configure Tx checksum offload on IUT interface if specified

5. Configure GSO offload on IUT interface if specified

6. Configure TSO offload on IUT interface if specified

7. Configure HW VLAN insertion on IUT interface if specified

8. If rx_coalesce_usecs or rx_max_coalesced_frames is not -1, configure Rx coalesce on IUT interface.

   • Disable use_adaptive_rx_coalesce on IUT interface.

   • If rx_coalesce_usecs is not -1, configure it IUT interface.

   • If rx_max_coalesced_frames is not -1, configure it IUT interface.

9. Set Rx ring size according to rx_ring on IUT interface.

10. Set Tx ring size according to tx_ring on IUT interface.

11. Set number of combined channels on IUT interface according to channels.

12. If rx_vlan_strip or tx_vlan_insert is not default, create VLANs, assign addresses and use it for traffic checks below.

13. Set default perf options

14. Set test specific perf options

15. Allocate server ports for perf applications

16. Start server and client perf applications

17. Wait for perf report to be ready
