Add several options to simulate route lookups (memory reads) in tables
that can be quite large, as well as route hit statistics update.
These options simulates the while stack traversal and
will trash the cache. Memory access is random.
Options to simulate route lookups:
--memory-footprint [size]
Size of the VNF internal memory (MB), in which the random
read/write will be done, allocated by rte_malloc (hugepages).
--nb-rnd-write [num]
Number of random writes in memory per packet should be
performed, simulating hit-flags update. 64 bits per write,
all write in different cache lines.
--nb-rnd-read [num]
Number of random reads in memory per packet should be
performed, simulating FIB/table lookups. 64 bits per read,
all write in different cache lines.
--nb-rnd-read-write [num]
Number of random reads and writes in memory per packet should
be performed, simulating stats update. 64 bits per read-write, all
reads and writes in different cache lines.
