Hi Dave,
I want to write to a file the packet headers of each packet for some offline 
traffic analysis. I have 40Gbps incoming traffic, this is why I pass packets to 
a process node, to not do the write in the internal node.

Thanks,
Jacques

It would help to describe the problem at a higher level. First question: why 
pass packets to a process node?

Subject: [vpp-dev] What is the best way to pass packets from an internal node 
to a process node?

Hello,

I am trying to pass packets from an internal node (running on a worker thread) 
to a process node, and I am looking for the best way to do that.
Currently, I have a pool of arrays that is shared between the two nodes (using 
a spinlock for pool_get and pool_put). In the internal node, I copy each packet 
of a frame to one of the array of the pool (pool_get) and then pass this array 
to the process node, using vlib_process_signal_event_mt. In the process node, I 
do some processing on the packets and then release the array (pool_put).
Is there a better way of doing this, without spinlocks for example?

Thanks,
Jacques
