From cb1603948a0b80f27d2525bb7ac0d4bbb3849926 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Davide Caratti Date: Thu, 24 May 2018 17:49:35 +0200 Subject: vrf: add CRC32c offload to device features MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit SCTP sockets originated in a VRF can improve their performance if CRC32c computation is delegated to underlying devices: update device features, setting NETIF_F_SCTP_CRC. Iterating the following command in the topology proposed with [1], # ip vrf exec vrf-h2 netperf -H 192.0.2.1 -t SCTP_STREAM -- -m 10K the measured throughput in Mbit/s improved from 2395 ± 1% to 2720 ± 1%.
