.. _gso_methodology:
Generic Segmentation Offload Tests
----------------------------------
Overview
~~~~~~~~
Generic Segmentation Offload (GSO) reduces per-packet processing
overhead by enabling applications to pass a multi-packet buffer to
(v)NIC and process a smaller number of large packets (e.g. frame size of
64 KB), instead of processing higher numbers of small packets (e.g.
frame size of 1500 B), thus reducing per-packet overhead.
|csit-release| introduced GSO tests for VPP vhostuser and tapv2
interfaces. All tests cases use iPerf3 client and server applications
running TCP/IP as a traffic generator. For performance comparison the
same tests are run without GSO enabled.
GSO Test Topologies
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two VPP GSO test topologies are implemented in |csit-release|:
1. iPerfC_GSOvirtio_LinuxVM --- GSOvhost_VPP_GSOvhost --- iPerfS_GSOvirtio_LinuxVM
- Tests VPP GSO on vhostuser interfaces and interaction with Linux
virtio with GSO enabled.
1. iPerfC_GSOtap_LinuxNspace --- GSOtapv2_VPP_GSOtapv2 --- iPerfS_GSOtap_LinuxNspace
- Tests VPP GSO on tapv2 interfaces and interaction with Linux tap
with GSO enabled.
Common configuration:
- iPerfC (client) and iPerfS (server) run in TCP/IP mode without upper
bandwidth limit.
- Trial duration is set to 30 sec.
- iPerfC, iPerfS and VPP run in the single SUT node.
VPP GSOtap Topology
-------------------
VPP Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
VPP GSOtap tests in |csit-release| are executed without using
hyperthreading. VPP worker runs on a single core. Multi-core tests are
not executed. Each interface belongs to separate namespace. Following core
pinning scheme is used:
- 1t1c (rxq=1, rx_qsz=4096, tx_qsz=4096)
- system isolated: 0,28,56,84
- vpp mt: 1
- vpp wt: 2
- vhost: 3-5
- iperf-s: 6
- iperf-c: 7
iPerf3 Server Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
iPerf3 version used 3.7
::
$ sudo -E -S ip netns exec tap1_namespace iperf3 \
--server --daemon --pidfile /tmp/iperf3_server.pid --logfile /tmp/iperf3.log --port 5201 --affinity <X>
For the full iPerf3 reference please see:
`iPerf3 docs <https://github.com/esnet/iperf/blob/master/docs/invoking.rst>`_.
iPerf3 Client Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
iPerf3 version used 3.7
::
$ sudo -E -S ip netns exec tap1_namespace iperf3 \
--client 2.2.2.2 --bind 1.1.1.1 --port 5201 --parallel <Y> --time 30.0 --affinity <X> --zerocopy
For the full iPerf3 reference please see:
`iPerf3 docs <https://github.com/esnet/iperf/blob/master/docs/invoking.rst>`_.
VPP GSOvhost Topology
---------------------
VPP Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
VPP GSOvhost tests in |csit-release| are executed without using
hyperthreading. VPP worker runs on a single core. Multi-core tests are
not executed. Following core pinning scheme is used:
- 1t1c (rxq=1, rx_qsz=1024, tx_qsz=1024)
- system isolated: 0,28,56,84
- vpp mt: 1
- vpp wt: 2
- vm-iperf-s: 3,4,5,6,7
- vm-iperf-c: 8,9,10,11,12
- iperf-s: 1
- iperf-c: 1
iPerf3 Server Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
iPerf3 version used 3.7
::
$ sudo iperf3 \
--server --daemon --pidfile /tmp/iperf3_server.pid --logfile /tmp/iperf3.log --port 5201 --affinity X
For the full iPerf3 reference please see:
`iPerf3 docs <https://github.com/esnet/iperf/blob/master/docs/invoking.rst>`_.
iPerf3 Client Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
iPerf3 version used 3.7
::
$ sudo iperf3 \
--client 2.2.2.2 --bind 1.1.1.1 --port 5201 --parallel <Y> --time 30.0 --affinity X --zerocopy
