Needs to be increased for - scenarios with large number of interfaces and worker threads. To - accommodate for scale tests, CSIT is setting it to the maximum possible - value corresponding to the limit of DPDK memory mappings (currently - 256). For Xeon Skylake platforms configured with 2MB hugepages and VPP - data-size and buffer-size defaults (2048B and 2496B respectively), this - results in value of 215040 (256 * 840 = 215040, 840 * 2496B buffers fit - in 2MB hugepage). - -Per Test Settings -~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - -List of vpp startup.conf settings applied dynamically per test: - -#. corelist-workers <list_of_cores> - list of logical cores to run VPP - worker data plane threads.
