From 29269705239fc3102a42950a5d84c3c3acd619d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Gibson Date: Mon, 6 Nov 2023 18:08:29 +1100 Subject: test/perf: Small MTUs for spliced TCP aren't interesting Currently we make TCP throughput measurements for spliced connections with a number of different MTU values. However, the results from this aren't really interesting. Unlike with tap connections, spliced connections only involve the loopback interface on host and container, not a "real" external interface. lo typically has an MTU of 65535 and there is very little reason to ever change that. So, the measurements for smaller MTUs are rarely going to be relevant. In addition, the fact that we can offload all the {de,}packetization to the kernel with splice(2) means that the throughput difference between these MTUs isn't very great anyway. Remove the short MTUs and only show spliced throughput for the normal 65535 byte loopback MTU. This reduces runtime of the performance tests on my laptop by about 1 minute (out of ~24 minutes).
