NAME

6       determine_maximum_mpps  -  Determine  the  maximum mpps the machine can
7       handle
8

SYNOPSIS

10       determine_maximum_mpps [-a cpulist] [-m maxlat] [-n cycles] [-f  |  -r]
11       [-p priority] [-h]

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       -a cpulist
27              List of processors to run on. The default is processor 0
28              Numbers are separated by commas  and  may  include  ranges.  Eg.
29              0,3,7-11
30
31       -m maxlat
32              Maximum  latency  in  nanoseconds.  The default is 20000. If the
33              maximum is exceeded, that run of queuelat quits.
34
35       -n cycles
36              Extimated number of cycles it takes to process one  packet.  The
37              default is 300
38
39       -f     Set  the scheduling policy to SCHED_FIFO. This is the default if
40              not specified.
41
42       -r     Set the scheduling policy to SCHED_RR.
43
44       -p priority
45              default priority = 1. Valid numbers are from 1 to 99
