It is possible to tune the performance by setting the packet buffer size (# of
packets).
The default value is 128 packets but it is possible to change the default
value for new ports by the mgmt command:
port/defqlen
e.g. port/defqlen 256
It is also possible to set the max size of the packet buffer port by port
(or more precisely entrypoint by entrypoint). It is the purpose of the
following command:
port/epqlen
e.g:
--------------------
vde: port/print
Port 0001 untagged_vlan=0000 ACTIVE - Unnamed Allocatable
Current User: NONE Access Control: (User: NONE - Group: NONE)
IN: pkts 537475 bytes 581996735
OUT: pkts 401026 bytes 481438953
-- endpoint ID 0007 module tuntap : tap0
unsent packets: 0 max 128
Success
vde: port/epqlen 1 7 1024
Success
----------------
The port/print output shows that it is possible to inspect the current length
of the
unsent packet queue at run time.
