emmericp / MoonGen

MoonGen is a fully scriptable high-speed packet generator built on DPDK and LuaJIT. It can saturate a 10 Gbit/s connection with 64 byte packets on a single CPU core while executing user-provided Lua scripts for each packet. Multi-core support allows for even higher rates. It also features precise and accurate timestamping and rate control.

sr-chaudhry commented 6 years ago

Hi Emmercip,

I have a queury as i have

PowerEdge T430.

Intel Xeon E5-2620 v4 2.1GHz,20M Cache,8.0GT/s QPI,Turbo,HT,8C/16T (85W) Max Mem. 32GB RDIMM, 2400MT/s, Dual Rank, x4 Data Width PERC H330 Integrated RAID Controller Mellanox ConnectX-3 Pro Dual Port 10 GbE SFP+ PCIE Adapter Full Height, V2 Mellanox, Transceiver, SFP+, 10Gb, Short-Range, for use in Mellanox CX3 10Gb NW Adpt Only Single, Hot-plug Power Supply (1+0), 495W On-Board LOM 1GBE (Dual Port for Towers and DSS, Quad Port for Racks and Blades)

But while installing, i figured out Mellanox ConnectX-3pro is not supported by Moongen. Can you kindly confirm if i am correct.

Because on moongen Github site, it clearly sayd the required firmware are ConnectX-4 and ConnectX-5.

Your help will be of great support.

Thanks.

Hi Paul,

 

So did the connectX-3 worked with this OFED Linux 4.1-1 and firmware 2.40.7000 for you?
