Hello,

We are trying to benchmark L3FWD application and have a question regarding
the IP lookup algorithm as we expect the bottleneck to be at the lookup.
Could someone let us know how efficient the lookup algorithm that L3FWD is
using (e.g, LPM)? We are asking because we want to obtain highest L3
forwarding performance number, and we might need to change the lookup
method if the current LPM method is not as efficient.

Thank you very much,

Jun
