Hi all, I am using a dual-port Intel 82546EB to run the simple l2fwd application (forward 64byte packets).
The result is terrible. My packet generator generates and sends about 320Mb/s, but nearly a half of them are dropped, and only about 160Mb of packets are forwarded every sec. I have also tried to run dpdk-pktgen with this NIC and It can only generate and send about 150Mb/s. My NIC link speed is 1000Mb/s. I am wondering why its performance is so slow like this. Please help me. Any ideas/advices are appreciated. Thanks.
