+Pktgen creates a thread for each CPU with affinity to that CPU.
|
|
|
+Which is controlled through procfile /proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_X.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Example: /proc/net/pktgen/kpktgend_0
|
|

|

|
|
|
|
-Most important are the devices assigned to the thread. Note that a
|
|
|
-device can only belong to one thread.
|
|
|
+The two basic thread commands are:
|
|
|
+ * add_device DEVICE@NAME -- adds a single device
|
|
|
+ * rem_device_all -- remove all associated devices
|
|
|
|
|
|
+When adding a device to a thread, a corrosponding procfile is created
|
|
|
+which is used for configuring this device. Thus, device names need to
|
|
|
+be unique.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+To support adding the same device to multiple threads, which is useful
|
|
|
+with multi queue NICs, a the device naming scheme is extended with "@":
|
|
|
+ device@something
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The part after "@" can be anything, but it is custom to use the thread
|
|
|
+number.
