I completely understand about the polling cores' 100% CPU usage. My requirement is different where I need to calculate the core's load based on how much more PPS it can handle before a packet drop occurs in the queue. The vec/call is a good indicator of load, but it does not increase linearly with PPS. This is because of the VPP's self balancing behaviour where the cost per packet reduces as load increases. It would be a great help if anyone can point out factors to calculate load. Thanks and regards, Ramkumar Balu
