[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index] [Xen-devel] [PATCHv1] xen-netfront: always keep the Rx ring full of requests
A full Rx ring only requires 1 MiB of memory. This is not enough
memory that it is useful to dynamically scale the number of Rx
requests in the ring based on traffic rates.
Keeping the ring full of Rx requests handles bursty traffic better
than trying to converges on an optimal number of requests to keep
filled.
On a 4 core host, an iperf -P 64 -t 60 run from dom0 to a 4 VCPU guest
improved from 5.1 Gbit/s to 5.6 Gbit/s. Gains with more bursty
traffic are expected to be higher.
