Rubina, Damjan, I am working on a project to enhance the VPP documentation. I think these are great questions and answers.
Do you mind if I use them for my documents? Thanks, John From: <vpp-dev@lists.fd.io> on behalf of Damjan Marion <dmar...@me.com> Date: Tuesday, June 26, 2018 at 6:28 AM To: Rubina Bianchi <r_bian...@outlook.com> Cc: "vpp-dev@lists.fd.io" <vpp-dev@lists.fd.io> Subject: Re: [vpp-dev] CPU Usage in VPP Yes, good indicator is "average vectors/node" in show run. Bigger number means VPP is more busy but also more efficient. Maximum value us 255 (unless you change VLIB_FRAME_SIZE in code). It basically means how many packets are processed in batch. If VPP is not loaded it will likely poll so fast that it will just get one or few packets from the rx queue, as load goes up vpp will have more work to do, so it will poll less frequently, and that will result in more packets waiting in rx queue. More packets will result in more efficient execution of the code so number of clock cycles / packet will go down. When "average vectors/node" goes up close to 255, you will likely start observing rx queue tail drops. Hope this explains...

Actually, what I'm looking for is a metric to determine how much is VPP load in different cases. In other word I want to know how much VPP is busy.

For memory usage, you can use "show memory [verbose]" debug cli.

I used top and htop in linux kernel but it shows pre-allocated amounts. I also tried vppctl sho runtime, but its frequency is less than what I expected (on high traffic and low traffic its reported clocks are same or have low frequency).
