  • RFC2544 Benchmarking

    RFC2544 tests were performed without Netmap support and on a bidirectional IPv4 packets forwarding topology, without SMT support. This is the most fair and reliable scenario we want to guarantee to our customers. Tests are run by Ixia. Contact-us if you want to have the full testing report.

    Bridged results tend to be 20% better, while Netmap VALE bridged interfaces tend to be 13 times better. Netmap L-400 device was tested in its default configuration, with 6 networking ports at 1000BaseT Intel 1Gb media type. Test results are kernel-path, expected much higher (9-13 times better) performance in Netmap mode.
