[Xorp-users] Testing L3 IP packet forward performance on CPU with XORP

[HJ]

Hi, I am HJ. Currently I am working on a self study project on getting the
performance benchmarking on L3 IP packet forwarding on x86 processor using
XORP as the software.
I am very new in this space. I would like to seek for the advise in this
community on what are the neccessary setup that is needed for this
test? Also i plan to run it on multi-threaded processor at later stage,
which will modify some of the coding with OpenMP.

1. So is like in the config.boot file, what are the element is needed for
this?
2. Do i need a external packet generator like Smart Bit to act as low gen?
Or just some test file will do? If it is just a test file, anyway that I can
do it?
3. If i want to do it as just self alone 1 linux box, how do i need to that?

Thanks in advance.
Regards,
HJ
