Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 12/12] selftests: net: Add a test for BIG TCP in UDP tunnels
Date: Thu, 26 Feb 2026 22:16:00 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260226201600.222044-13-alice.kernel@fastmail.im> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260226201600.222044-1-alice.kernel@fastmail.im>
From: Alice Mikityanska <alice@isovalent.com>
The test sets up VXLAN and GENEVE tunnels over IPv4 and IPv6 and runs
IPv4 and IPv6 traffic through them with BIG TCP enabled. It checks that
a non-negligible amount of big aggregated packets are seen in tcpdump.
