Hi Joo,
The copy of the first to the agent is not in the critical path (i.e.
vrouter can send packets to the agent faster than the rate at which flows can
be setup), so moving to shared memory for this purpose is not critical.

Subject: [opencontrail-dev] first packet processing performance between Vrouter
and agent
Hello,
Looks like, in the case of ARP, DHCP,.. , packet is copied and sent from
vrouter to agent. Maybe, that kind of traffic's performance does not matter
much.
Then, for regular traffic, on 1st packet processing, as I understand, vrouter
copies the packet header only and sends it over pkt0 to agent. If that's the
case, since it is still a copy(hence, expensive), isn't it the 1st packet
processing performance could be a bottleneck during traffic rampup?
Any plan to move to shared memory between vrouter(userspace version) and agent
for packet (header) exchange?
-Thanks-
