+====== Forwarding performance lab of a HP ProLiant DL360p Gen8 with 10-Gigabit Chelsio T540-CR ======
+{{description>Forwarding performance lab of a quad cores Xeon 2.13GHz and quad-port 10-Gigabit Chelsio T540-CR}}
+===== Bench lab =====
+==== Hardware detail ====
+This lab will test an [[HP ProLiant DL360p Gen8]] with **eight** cores (Intel Xeon E5-2650  @ 2.60GHz), quad port Chelsio 10-Gigabit T540-CR and OPT SFP (SFP-10G-LR).
+The lab is detailed here: [[documentation:examples:Setting up a forwarding performance benchmark lab]].

+The generator **MUST** generate lot's of smallest IP flows (multiple source/destination IP addresses and/or UDP src/dst port).
+Here is an example for generating 5000 flows (different source IP * different destination IP) at line-rate by using 2 threads:
+<code>
+pkt-gen -N -f tx -w 2 -i vcxl0 -n 1000000000 -l 60 -4 -p 2 -S 00:07:43:2f:fe:b2 -s 198.18.10.1:2001-198.18.10.71 -D 00:07:43:2e:e4:70 -d 198.19.10.1:2001-198.19.10.70
+</code>
+And the same with IPv6 flows (minimum frame size of 62 here):
+<code>
+pkt-gen -N -f tx -w 2 -i vcxl0 -n 1000000000 -l 62 -6 -p 2 -S 00:07:43:2f:fe:b2 -s "[2001:2:0:10::1]-[2001:2:0:10::47]" -D 00:07:43:2e:e4:70 -d "[2001:2:0:8010::1]-[2001:2:0:8010::46]"
+</code>
+<note warning>
+Netmap disable hardware checksum on the NIC, if you can't re-enable hardware checksum in netmap mode (like with Intel NIC), you need to use a FreeBSD -head with svn revision of 257758 minimum with the[[https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=187149|pkt-gen software-checksum patch]] for using multiple src/dst IP or port with netmap's pkt-gen. But this software checksum patch will reduce performance from line-rate to about 10Mpps.
+</note>
+Receiver will use this command:
+<code>
+pkt-gen -i vcxl1 -f rx -w 2
