From 925c5bfcffb2bc6b833a8e64b7f3a06bbca52197 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vratko Polak Date: Tue, 31 Mar 2020 20:10:46 +0200 Subject: Tweak TRex cores and RDMA pps limit The previous values lead to duration stretching, which affects MRR results (making receive rate bigger than it really is). + Move timestamp for starting of traffic, the previous position was too conservative.
