MLE NPAP Benchmarking using Netperf
MLE NPAP can instantiate a fully accelerated version of Netperf and many of our Evaluation Reference Designs are parameterized to integrate this. This Netperf/Netserver block is compatible with open source Netperf 2.6 and can be used for system-wide tuning, for functionality analysis and for performance benchmarking.
The charts below show the results of a 25 GbE NPAP-to-NPAP benchmark, underlining NPAP’s superior performance:
- Consistent High Throughput: The first chart, measuring a TCP_STREAM test, demonstrates MLE NPAP’s ability to achieve consistent, close-to-line-rate throughput.
- Ultra-Low Latency: The second chart, measuring a TCP_RR (Request/Response) test, highlights the ultra-high and deterministic transaction rates which is a key advantage that only a full-hardware network stack can deliver due to the required low round-trip-time (RTT) and low packet loss.
