Yes I did network testing :
- net_rx_action() softirq handler is the typical function that can
consume 2 ms per call.
I did some netperf sessions, with multiqueue 10G nics, tuned to that IRQ
would be handled by few cpus.
(check /proc/irq/*/eth0-$QUEUE/../smp_affinity )
Another way to make the softirq processing use more cpu cycles is by
adding a fake iptable setup like :
for n in `seq 1 100`
do
iptables -I INPUT
done
A common network load is to launch ~200 concurrent TCP_RR netperf
sessions like the following
netperf -H remote_host -t TCP_RR -l 1000
And then you can launch some netperf asking P99_LATENCY results :
netperf -H remote_host -t TCP_RR -- -k P99_LATENCY
You can play with taskset or netperf option -T to force
netperf/netserver running on given cpus.
