NAME

8       determine_maximum_mpps  -  Determine  the  maximum mpps the machine can
9       handle
10

SYNOPSIS

12       determine_maximum_mpps [-a cpulist] [-m maxlat] [-n cycles] [-f  |  -r]
13       [-p priority] [-h]
14

DESCRIPTION

16       determine_maximum_mpps  will  find the maximum mpps parameter which can
17       sustain
18
19              1. 10 consecutive 30 second runs.
20              2. 1 run of 10 minutes.
21
22       Without violating the latency specified with $MAXLAT (default 20000)
23

TERMINOLOGY

25       mpps : million-packets-per-second
26

OPTIONS

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