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>
32 ## In the VPP there is one main thread and optionally the user can create worker(s)
33 ## The main thread and worker thread(s) can be pinned to CPU core(s) manually or automatically
35 ## Manual pinning of thread(s) to CPU core(s)
37 ## Set logical CPU core where main thread runs
40 ## Set logical CPU core(s) where worker threads are running
41 # corelist-workers 2-3,18-19
43 ## Automatic pinning of thread(s) to CPU core(s)
45 ## Sets number of CPU core(s) to be skipped (1 ... N-1)
46 ## Skipped CPU core(s) are not used for pinning main thread and working thread(s).
47 ## The main thread is automatically pinned to the first available CPU core and worker(s)
48 ## are pinned to next free CPU core(s) after core assigned to main thread
51 ## Specify a number of workers to be created
52 ## Workers are pinned to N consecutive CPU cores while skipping "skip-cores" CPU core(s)
53 ## and main thread's CPU core
56 ## Set scheduling policy and priority of main and worker threads
58 ## Scheduling policy options are: other (SCHED_OTHER), batch (SCHED_BATCH)
59 ## idle (SCHED_IDLE), fifo (SCHED_FIFO), rr (SCHED_RR)
60 # scheduler-policy fifo
62 ## Scheduling priority is used only for "real-time policies (fifo and rr),
63 ## and has to be in the range of priorities supported for a particular policy
64 # scheduler-priority 50
68 ## Change default settings for all intefaces
70 ## Number of receive queues, enables RSS
74 ## Number of transmit queues, Default is equal
75 ## to number of worker threads or 1 if no workers treads
78 ## Number of descriptors in transmit and receive rings
79 ## increasing or reducing number can impact performance
80 ## Default is 1024 for both rx and tx
84 ## VLAN strip offload mode for interface
86 # vlan-strip-offload on
89 ## Whitelist specific interface by specifying PCI address
92 ## Whitelist specific interface by specifying PCI address and in
93 ## addition specify custom parameters for this interface
98 ## Specify bonded interface and its slaves via PCI addresses
100 ## Bonded interface in XOR load balance mode (mode 2) with L3 and L4 headers
101 # vdev eth_bond0,mode=2,slave=0000:02:00.0,slave=0000:03:00.0,xmit_policy=l34
102 # vdev eth_bond1,mode=2,slave=0000:02:00.1,slave=0000:03:00.1,xmit_policy=l34
104 ## Bonded interface in Active-Back up mode (mode 1)
105 # vdev eth_bond0,mode=1,slave=0000:02:00.0,slave=0000:03:00.0
106 # vdev eth_bond1,mode=1,slave=0000:02:00.1,slave=0000:03:00.1
108 ## Change UIO driver used by VPP, Options are: igb_uio, vfio-pci
109 ## and uio_pci_generic (default)
110 # uio-driver vfio-pci
112 ## Disable mutli-segment buffers, improves performance but
113 ## disables Jumbo MTU support
116 ## Increase number of buffers allocated, needed only in scenarios with
117 ## large number of interfaces and worker threads. Value is per CPU socket.
121 ## Change hugepages allocation per-socket, needed only if there is need for
122 ## larger number of mbufs. Default is 256M on each detected CPU socket
123 # socket-mem 2048,2048
126 # Adjusting the plugin path depending on where the VPP plugins are:
129 # path /home/bms/vpp/build-root/install-vpp-native/vpp/lib64/vpp_plugins
132 # Alternate syntax to choose plugin path
133 #plugin_path /home/bms/vpp/build-root/install-vpp-native/vpp/lib64/vpp_plugins
