11 ## This stanza controls binary API tracing. Unless there is a very strong reason,
12 ## please leave this feature enabled.
14 ## Additional parameters:
16 ## To set the number of binary API trace records in the circular buffer, configure nitems
20 ## To save the api message table decode tables, configure a filename. Results in /tmp/<filename>
21 ## Very handy for understanding api message changes between versions, identifying missing
22 ## plugins, and so forth.
24 ## save-api-table <filename>
36 ## In the VPP there is one main thread and optionally the user can create worker(s)
37 ## The main thread and worker thread(s) can be pinned to CPU core(s) manually or automatically
39 ## Manual pinning of thread(s) to CPU core(s)
41 ## Set logical CPU core where main thread runs, if main core is not set
42 ## VPP will use core 1 if available
45 ## Set logical CPU core(s) where worker threads are running
46 # corelist-workers 2-3,18-19
48 ## Automatic pinning of thread(s) to CPU core(s)
50 ## Sets number of CPU core(s) to be skipped (1 ... N-1)
51 ## Skipped CPU core(s) are not used for pinning main thread and working thread(s).
52 ## The main thread is automatically pinned to the first available CPU core and worker(s)
53 ## are pinned to next free CPU core(s) after core assigned to main thread
56 ## Specify a number of workers to be created
57 ## Workers are pinned to N consecutive CPU cores while skipping "skip-cores" CPU core(s)
58 ## and main thread's CPU core
61 ## Set scheduling policy and priority of main and worker threads
63 ## Scheduling policy options are: other (SCHED_OTHER), batch (SCHED_BATCH)
64 ## idle (SCHED_IDLE), fifo (SCHED_FIFO), rr (SCHED_RR)
65 # scheduler-policy fifo
67 ## Scheduling priority is used only for "real-time policies (fifo and rr),
68 ## and has to be in the range of priorities supported for a particular policy
69 # scheduler-priority 50
73 ## Change default settings for all intefaces
75 ## Number of receive queues, enables RSS
79 ## Number of transmit queues, Default is equal
80 ## to number of worker threads or 1 if no workers treads
83 ## Number of descriptors in transmit and receive rings
84 ## increasing or reducing number can impact performance
85 ## Default is 1024 for both rx and tx
89 ## VLAN strip offload mode for interface
91 # vlan-strip-offload on
94 ## Whitelist specific interface by specifying PCI address
97 ## Whitelist specific interface by specifying PCI address and in
98 ## addition specify custom parameters for this interface
103 ## Specify bonded interface and its slaves via PCI addresses
105 ## Bonded interface in XOR load balance mode (mode 2) with L3 and L4 headers
106 # vdev eth_bond0,mode=2,slave=0000:02:00.0,slave=0000:03:00.0,xmit_policy=l34
107 # vdev eth_bond1,mode=2,slave=0000:02:00.1,slave=0000:03:00.1,xmit_policy=l34
109 ## Bonded interface in Active-Back up mode (mode 1)
110 # vdev eth_bond0,mode=1,slave=0000:02:00.0,slave=0000:03:00.0
111 # vdev eth_bond1,mode=1,slave=0000:02:00.1,slave=0000:03:00.1
113 ## Change UIO driver used by VPP, Options are: igb_uio, vfio-pci,
114 ## uio_pci_generic or auto (default)
115 # uio-driver vfio-pci
117 ## Disable mutli-segment buffers, improves performance but
118 ## disables Jumbo MTU support
121 ## Increase number of buffers allocated, needed only in scenarios with
122 ## large number of interfaces and worker threads. Value is per CPU socket.
126 ## Change hugepages allocation per-socket, needed only if there is need for
127 ## larger number of mbufs. Default is 256M on each detected CPU socket
128 # socket-mem 2048,2048
130 ## Disables UDP / TCP TX checksum offload. Typically needed for use
131 ## faster vector PMDs (together with no-multi-seg)
132 # no-tx-checksum-offload
137 ## Adjusting the plugin path depending on where the VPP plugins are
138 # path /home/bms/vpp/build-root/install-vpp-native/vpp/lib/vpp_plugins
140 ## Disable all plugins by default and then selectively enable specific plugins
141 # plugin default { disable }
142 # plugin dpdk_plugin.so { enable }
143 # plugin acl_plugin.so { enable }
145 ## Enable all plugins by default and then selectively disable specific plugins
146 # plugin dpdk_plugin.so { disable }
147 # plugin acl_plugin.so { disable }
150 ## Alternate syntax to choose plugin path
151 # plugin_path /home/bms/vpp/build-root/install-vpp-native/vpp/lib/vpp_plugins
