NAME

6       determine_maximum_mpps  -  Determine  the  maximum mpps the machine can
7       handle

SYNOPSIS

10       determine_maximum_mpps [-c cpulist] [-m maxlat] [-n cycles] [-f  |  -r]

DESCRIPTION

14       determine_maximum_mpps  will  find the maximum mpps parameter which can
15       sustain
16
17              1. 10 consecutive 30 second runs.
18              2. 1 run of 10 minutes.
19
20       Without violating the latency specified with $MAXLAT (default 20000)
21

TERMINOLOGY

23       mpps : million-packets-per-second
24

OPTIONS

26       -c cpulist
27              List of processors to run on. The default is processor 0
28
29       -m maxlat
30              Maximum latency in nanoseconds. The default  is  20000.  if  the
31              maximum is exceeded, that run of queuelat quits.
32
33       -n cycles
34              Extimated  number  of cycles it takes to process one packet. The
35              default is 300
36
37       -f     Set the scheduling policy to SCHED_FIFO. This is the default  if
38              not specified.
39
40       -r     Set the scheduling policy to SCHED_RR.
41
42       -p priority
43              default priority = 1. Valid numbers are from 1 to 99
