| The first command configures Cilium to use tunneling (``-e mode=tunneling``), |

Do we need to add any additional commands in between the above to ensure that the machines are restarted & ready? Maybe it should be split into two code blocks to make sure that anyone trying to reproduce will stop to verify this first?

@kkourt could you also follow-up to include the "higher is better" / "lower is better" wording into every plot?

Why would we need to restart the machines? If we need to, we can do it as part of the playbook.

Sorry, I meant to add this feedback for line 216 which talks about clearing out old state.

Ah I see. Maybe we could just check that BPF programs are unloaded as part of the second playbook (playbooks/run-rawnetperf.yaml). That should just be a matter of running bpftool net. I'm guessing that would be our main concern, right?

AFAIU, the ansible play will wait until the machine is rebooted so state should be clean after that. There are two reasons for the reboot: bpf programs (for which we could call cilium cleanup and check bpf progs), but also changes on the MTU of the NICs.

Good point! I'll add proper wording. |

(I'll readd the 1.8 backport once also the follow-ups are merged early next week so we can take in all at once w/o partial state.) |
