1#!/bin/bash
2#
3# Script for max single flow performance
4#  - If correctly tuned[1], single CPU 10G wirespeed small pkts is possible[2]
5#
6# Using pktgen "burst" option (use -b $N)
7#  - To boost max performance
8#  - Avail since: kernel v3.18
9#   * commit 38b2cf2982dc73 ("net: pktgen: packet bursting via skb->xmit_more")
10#  - This avoids writing the HW tailptr on every driver xmit
11#  - The performance boost is impressive, see commit and blog [2]
12#
13# Notice: On purpose generates a single (UDP) flow towards target,
14#   reason behind this is to only overload/activate a single CPU on
15#   target host.  And no randomness for pktgen also makes it faster.
