Hi Liu Qiao,
We've testing early version patch with same BPF code (on AWS cloud,
without ADQ-capable cards) on relatively small payloads and found no
significant difference. We'd like to retest it with large payload size;
could you please elaborate a bit more how you did perform the test?
I mean 'nginx -T' output, number of CPU cores and CPU model, test
scripts, 1-megabyte file and any system tuning parameters. One of
caveats was that wrk may produce significant client load and most
effective way to distribute client load between CPU cores is running wrk
in one thread via taskset.
Another big caveat that I've found during my test is the strange
behavior of this BPF code: when client and server runs on the same
server, all requests was served by one nginx worker process. Did you try
to run wrk and nginx locally in your test?
Thanks in advance!
