[vpp-dev] hugepage allocation and vpp startup

2017-04-13 Thread Ernst, Eric
I'd like to better understand how hugepages are allocated at boot when vpp is not started, as well as what happens what vpp is started (ie, systemctl start vpp). The reason I ask is that I'm running into an issue with hugepage allocation changes causing VPP to fail. Whereas 1024 2MB pages is

Thanks for the quick reply, Maciek. Just to be double sure, your jumbo frame results should be ~1.3Mpps/16 _G_bps, not _H_, right? I assume you aren't using humble-burst measurements. I looked through some of the links, and understand that generally performance should scale with
