[PATCH net-next v3 3/3] selftests: nic_performance: Add selftest for performance of NIC driver
Posted by Mohan Prasad J 1 month, 1 week ago
Add selftest case to check the send and receive throughput.
Supported link modes between local NIC driver and partner
are varied. Then send and receive throughput is captured
and verified. Test uses iperf3 tool.

Please allow the user to override this parameters with env variable
and/or with the command line.

Always use '-b 0'. Will work with both TCP and UDP and is usually more
efficient than forcing a specific speed.

It's probably better use '--one-off' and run the command in background.

You should wait for the listener to be available with wait_port_listen()

Also you can consider extending the existing GenerateTraffic() class in

tools/testing/selftests/drivers/net/lib/py/load.py

Instead of having a single test with all proto and speeds, what about
using a tests list, each of them using a given protocol and speed, so
that the user see more fine grain results?
