VPP throughput using netmap interfaces
This page reflects the current throughput results achieved with VPP while using netmap interfaces.
- Mainboard: SuperMicro X10SDV-8C-TLN4F+
- CPU: Intel® Xeon® processor D-1537 1.70 GHz
- NICs: 2 x Intel X552 10 GbE SFP+
- RAM: 16 GB
For this test TREX from Cisco was used. It is also used in VPP with the CSIT framework.

| |---------ix0--| FreeBSD |
| TREX | | with |
| |---------ix1--| VPP |
+--------+ +-----------+
The test transmitted packets from TREX to the ix0 interface and the traffic was received back via the ix1 interface after passing through VPP and being routed.
The theoretical maximums are calculated for a 10Gbps link.

The results was measured running the trex test (stl/udp_for_benchmarks.py) and sending traffic in a single direction through the FreeBSD box with VPP.

The results was measured running the trex test (stl/udp_for_benchmarks.py) and sending traffic in a single direction through the FreeBSD box while running netmap-fwd.

+-------------+------------------+
The results was measured running the trex test (stl/udp_for_benchmarks.py) and sending traffic in a single direction through the FreeBSD box while running bridge. In this case the setup is similar to the loopback test on TREX but all traffic is forwarded by the FreeBSD box in bridge mode.
