Those numbers don't show cpu cycles per packet nor do they show latencies. You won't see the timer based latency, because the tx mitigation scheme is not timer based for those numbers. Below are some numbers comparing bare metal, an assigned device, and virtio (not vhost-net, so we are still doing a heavy-weight exit to qemu and syscalls to deliver to tap device). > >It seems like there's definitely still potential for improvement > >with messages<4K.

At <4K it is tracking bare metal (the green and yellow lines are bare metal, the red and blue bars are virtio). At >4k we start to drop off (esp. on RX). This (slide 9) shows AMQP latencies for bare metal, an assigned device, and virtio. http://www.redhat.com/f/pdf/summit/bche_320_red_hat_enterprise_mrg.pdf Similarly, here's some much rawer latency numbers from netpipe, all done in usecs. bare assigned metal PCI NIC virtio (usecs) (usecs) (usecs) ----- ----- ----- 1 bytes 22.20 36.16 53.19 2 bytes 22.21 35.98 53.23 3 bytes 22.22 36.18 53.29 4 bytes 22.25 33.77 53.43 6 bytes 22.33 36.33 53.48 8 bytes 22.32 36.24 53.27 12 bytes 22.25 35.97 53.33 13 bytes 22.40 35.94 53.54 16 bytes 22.36 35.98 53.60 19 bytes 22.40 35.95 53.51 21 bytes 22.42 35.94 53.76 24 bytes 22.32 36.18 53.45 27 bytes 22.34 36.08 53.48 29 bytes 22.36 36.02 53.42 32 bytes 22.46 36.15 53.23 35 bytes 22.36 36.23 53.13 45 bytes 26.32 36.17 53.29 48 bytes 26.24 35.94 53.50 51 bytes 26.44 36.01 53.66 61 bytes 26.43 33.66 53.28 64 bytes 26.66 36.32 53.17 67 bytes 26.35 36.21 53.53 93 bytes 26.59 36.49 45.75 96 bytes 26.48 36.28 45.72 99 bytes 26.51 36.47 45.72 125 bytes 26.74 36.48 45.99 128 bytes 26.44 36.52 45.69 131 bytes 26.52 35.71 45.80 189 bytes 26.77 36.99 46.78 192 bytes 26.96 37.45 47.00 195 bytes 26.96 37.45 47.10 253 bytes 27.01 38.03 47.36 256 bytes 27.09 37.85 47.23 259 bytes 26.98 37.82 47.28 381 bytes 26.61 38.38 47.84 384 bytes 26.72 38.54 48.01 387 bytes 26.76 38.65 47.80 509 bytes 25.13 39.19 48.30 512 bytes 25.13 36.69 56.05 515 bytes 25.15 37.42 55.70 765 bytes 25.29 40.31 57.26 768 bytes 25.25 39.76 57.32 771 bytes 25.26 40.33 57.06 1021 bytes 49.27 57.00 63.73 1024 bytes 49.33 57.09 63.70 1027 bytes 49.07 57.25 63.70 1533 bytes 50.11 58.98 70.57 1536 bytes 50.09 59.30 70.22 1539 bytes 50.18 59.27 70.35 2045 bytes 50.44 59.42 74.31 2048 bytes 50.33 59.29 75.31 2051 bytes 50.32 59.14 74.02 3069 bytes 62.71 64.20 96.87 3072 bytes 62.78 64.94 96.84 3075 bytes 62.83 65.13 96.62 4093 bytes 62.56 64.78 99.63 4096 bytes 62.46 65.04 99.54 4099 bytes 62.47 65.87 99.65 6141 bytes 63.35 65.39 104.03 6144 bytes 63.59 66.16 104.66 6147 bytes 63.74 66.04 104.61 8189 bytes 63.65 66.52 107.75 8192 bytes 63.64 66.71 108.17 8195 bytes 63.66 67.08 109.11 12285 bytes 63.26 84.58 114.13 12288 bytes 63.28 85.38 114.55 12291 bytes 63.22 83.71 114.40 16381 bytes 62.87 98.19 120.48 16384 bytes 63.12 97.96 122.19 16387 bytes 63.48 98.48 121.68 24573 bytes 93.26 108.93 152.67 24576 bytes 94.40 109.42 152.14 24579 bytes 93.37 108.86 153.51 32765 bytes 102.84 115.46 169.04 32768 bytes 100.01 114.62 166.19 32771 bytes 102.61 115.97 167.96 49149 bytes 125.46 144.78 209.99 49152 bytes 123.76 139.70 187.17 49155 bytes 125.13 137.97 185.44 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
