Hi, sorry, I mixed up the hardware I used for my tests.
Paul Emmerich <emmericp at net.in.tum.de>: > CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1230 v2 > TurboBoost and HyperThreading disabled. > Frequency fixed at 3.30 GHz via acpi_cpufreq. The CPU frequency was fixed at 1.60 GHz to enforce a CPU bottleneck. My original post said that I used a Xeon E5-2620 v3 at 1.2 GHz, this is incorrect. The calculation for Cycles/Pkt in the original post used the correct 1.6 GHz figure, though. (I used the E5 CPU for the evaluation of my packet generator performance with 1.7.1/2.0.0, not for the l2fwd test.) Sorry for the confusion. Paul
