110. vhost/virtio multi-paths loopback test plan¶

Benchmark vhost/virtio-user loopback test with 10 tx/rx paths. Includes split ring mergeable, non-mergeable, vector_rx, inorder mergeable, inorder non-mergeable, packed ring mergeable, packed ring non-mergeable, packed ring inorder mergeable, packed ring inorder non-mergeable path, packed ring vectorized path.

110.1. Test Case 1: loopback test with packed ring mergeable path¶

Launch vhost by below command:

rm -rf vhost-net*
./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/dpdk-testpmd -n 4 -l 2-4  --no-pci \
--file-prefix=vhost --vdev 'net_vhost0,iface=vhost-net,queues=1,client=0' -- -i --nb-cores=1 --txd=1024 --rxd=1024
testpmd>set fwd mac

Launch virtio-user by below command:

./x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc/app/dpdk-testpmd -n 4 -l 5-6 \
--no-pci --file-prefix=virtio \

-- -i --nb-cores=1 --txd=1024 --rxd=1024
>set fwd mac
>start

Send packets with vhost-testpmd,[frame_size] is the parameter changs in [64, 1518]:
