2. Agenda
● The testcase
● The test environment
● Status at previous Connect
● Current status
● Other achievements
● Future plans

3. The testcase
● The generator (netmap-pktgen) sends 64
bytes UDP packets near line rate
● Ports and addresses are constant
● OVS forwards them to another port
● There is a sink on the other side to count the
received packets (netmap-pktgen again)

4. The test environment
● Intel 82599ES 2-port 10 Gbps NIC
● Intel i5-4570 @ 3.20GHz
● ODP-DPDK platform developed originally by
Venkatesh Vivekanandan
● OVS base: v2.4.0+ (forked 31st Aug)
● ODP API: v1.3 (+ RSS hash support)
● DPDK API: v2.1

5. Status at previous Connect

6. Current status
1.44 % overhead

7. Other achievements
● Unit tests are running (except classification)
● ODP API support: 0.6 -> 1.3
● DPDK base: 1.7.1 -> 2.1
● OVS base: 2.3.1 -> 2.4.90
● ODP-DPDK: 268 commits, 4191 insertions
(+), 2754 deletions(-)
● ODP-OVS: 46 commits, 256 insertions(+),
211 deletions(-)

8. Future plans
● More thorough tests (RFC 2544-like)
● Run these tests in LAVA
● Utilize as much as possible from OPNFV’s
VSPERF project
● Optimize further OVS-ODP and ODP
platforms to achieve a near line rate
performance
