Hi All,
I wrote a small tool[1] to extract ethtool --statistics|-S, sample and
present it in a more human readable manor. You might also find this
useful...
https://github.com/netoptimizer/network-testing/blob/master/bin/ethtool_stats.pl
The reason I wrote this script is that the mlx5 driver (Mellanox 100 Gbit/s)
does not report correct ifconfig stats. It reports the HW counters,
not what the network stack is able to handle. I/we obviously need the
stack number when working on improving the stack.

Do the scripts to get ~such results exist in your network testing github repo? last time I looked I wasn't sure if the multi-stream case is supported. Could you post the two commands you used for these results along with minimal spec of the system (CPU type/freq, special .config directives, anything else)?

Yes, this need to be fixed. I'm currently playing around in that code, and will fix it if you don't ;-)... (although, to be realistic, I will not have time until after netdev 1.1. to submit upstream patches). > still it's worthwhile to be > able and see per ring stats, specially when you're dealing/optimizing > in multi-stream env. It is actually also useful for detecting other situation, which are visible via obscure stats that we usually don't look at. I've been postponing writing this script for years, and in the end it only took me 2 hours to write (and 1 hour fixups the next day). > > Output examples: > > > > pktgen (1 core) sending ~20Mpps > > > > Show adapter mlx5p2 statistics (ONLY that changed!) > > Ethtool(mlx5p2) stat: 19431694 ( 19,431,694) <= frames_rx /sec > > Ethtool(mlx5p2) stat: 1243722215 ( 1,243,722,215) <= in_octets /sec > > Ethtool(mlx5p2) stat: 19433161 ( 19,433,161) <= in_ucast_pkts /sec > > Ethtool(mlx5p2) stat: 1243746943 ( 1,243,746,943) <= octets /sec > > Ethtool(mlx5p2) stat: 1243629263 ( 1,243,629,263) <= octets_received /sec > > Ethtool(mlx5p2) stat: 19433654 ( 19,433,654) <= p64octets /sec > > Ethtool(mlx5p2) stat: 19433556 ( 19,433,556) <= pkts /sec > > Ethtool(mlx5p2) stat: 1815546 ( 1,815,546) <= rx3_packets /sec > > Ethtool(mlx5p2) stat: 1165854821 ( 1,165,854,821) <= rx_bytes /sec > > Ethtool(mlx5p2) stat: 19430906 ( 19,430,906) <= rx_csum_good /sec > > Ethtool(mlx5p2) stat: 19430906 ( 19,430,906) <= rx_packets /sec > > Ethtool(mlx5p2) stat: 1165854821 ( 1,165,854,821) <= rx_unicast_bytes /sec > > Ethtool(mlx5p2) stat: 19430906 ( 19,430,906) <= rx_unicast_packets /sec > > was expecting to see tx_XXX stats, something wrong here? This was a RX only test (with another machine generating packets with pktgen). TX_xxx stats does show up when I run netperf. And the single netperf results are around 50Gbit/s (if IRQ RX process runs on another CPU that netperf process, I guess this was Eric point earlier), if IRQ and netperf runs on same CPU, perf drops to 23-26Gbit/s. Running multiple (super_)netperf the result max out at 64Gbit/s. > > pktgen (4 cores) sending ~50Mpps > [...] > > The 20M for single ring/core and 50M pps for four streams are really > cool results. Yes, these 100G NICs are definitely the fastest HW I currently have!
