2013-12-18debian: compile fix for programs using ncursesJesper Dangaard Brouer3-6/+9
For some reason the Debian ncurses version does not contain a ncurses.pc pkg-config file. Fix this by echoing "-lncurses" if the command fails: pkg-config --libs ncurses This fix will make ifpps compile on Debian Squeeze 6.0.8. Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com>

Debian's version of linux/ethtool.h seems to be outdated and does not contain define SPEED_UNKNOWN, fix this by a manual define. Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com>
2013-12-12trafgen: take advantage of PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS sock optionJesper Dangaard Brouer5-2/+40
Since Linux 3.14, the kernel supports a socket option PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS, which trafgen enables by default. That allow us to bypass the kernels normal qdisc (traffic control) layer. An option -q, --qdisc-path is added to allow enabling the qdisc path explicity, useful for testing purposes. This will be avail in kernels >= 3.14 via commit d346a3fae3 (packet: introduce PACKET_QDISC_BYPASS socket option). Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com>
2013-12-11trafgen: speedup TX only path by avoiding kernel packet_rcv() callJesper Dangaard Brouer7-6/+20
The tool trafgen is used in a pktgen style transmit only scenario. We discovered a performance bottleneck in the kernel, when running trafgen, where the kernel stalled on a lock in packet_rcv(). This call is unnecessary for trafgen given its transmit only nature. This packet_rcv() call can, easily be avoided by instructing the RAW/PF_PACKET socket, to not listen to any protocols (by passing protocol argument zero, when creating the socket). The performance gain is huge, increasing performance from approx max 2Mpps to 12Mpps, basically causing trafgen to scale with the number of CPUs. Following tests were run on a 2xCPU E5-2650 with Intel 10Gbit/s ixgbe: Trafgen using sendto() syscall via parameter -t0: * # CPUs -- *with* -- *without* packet_rcv() call * 1 CPU == 1,232,244 -- 1,236,144 pkts/sec * 2 CPUs == 1,592,720 -- 2,593,620 pkts/sec * 3 CPUs == 1,635,623 -- 3,692,216 pkts/sec * 4 CPUs == 1,567,768 -- 4,102,866 pkts/sec * 5 CPUs == 1,700,270 -- 5,151,489 pkts/sec * 6 CPUs == 1,762,392 -- 6,124,512 pkts/sec * 7 CPUs == 1,850,139 -- 7,120,496 pkts/sec * 8 CPUs == 1,770,909 -- 8,058,710 pkts/sec * 9 CPUs == 1,721,072 -- 8,963,192 pkts/sec * 10 CPUs == 1,359,157 -- 9,584,535 pkts/sec * 11 CPUs == 1,175,520 -- 10,498,038 pkts/sec * 12 CPUs == 1,075,867 -- 11,189,292 pkts/sec * 13 CPUs == 1,012,602 -- 12,048,836 pkts/sec * [...] * 20 CPUs == 1,030,446 -- 11,202,449 pkts/sec Trafgen using mmap() TX tpacket_v2 (default) * # CPUs -- *with* -- *without* packet_rcv() call * 1 CPU == 920,682 -- 927,984 pkts/sec * 2 CPUs == 1,607,940 -- 2,061,406 pkts/sec * 3 CPUs == 1,668,488 -- 2,979,463 pkts/sec * 4 CPUs == 1,423,066 -- 3,169,565 pkts/sec * 5 CPUs == 1,507,708 -- 3,910,756 pkts/sec * 6 CPUs == 1,555,616 -- 4,625,844 pkts/sec * 7 CPUs == 1,560,961 -- 5,298,441 pkts/sec * 8 CPUs == 1,596,092 -- 6,000,465 pkts/sec * 9 CPUs == 1,575,139 -- 6,722,130 pkts/sec * 10 CPUs == 1,311,676 -- 7,114,202 pkts/sec * 11 CPUs == 1,157,650 -- 7,859,399 pkts/sec * 12 CPUs == 1,060,366 -- 8,491,004 pkts/sec * 13 CPUs == 1,012,956 -- 9,269,761 pkts/sec * [...] * 20 CPUs == 955,716 -- 8,653,947 pkts/sec It is fairly strange that the mmap() version runs slower than the sendto() version. This is likely another performance problem related to mmap() which seems worth fixing. Note, that the mmap() version speed can be improved by reducing the default --ring-size to around 1-2 MiB. But this does not fix general trend with mmap() performance. Signed-off-by: Jesper Dangaard Brouer <brouer@redhat.com>

2013-10-10netsniff-ng: Don't modify optarg/argvTobias Klauser1-2/+0
We shouldn't modify optarg (and thus argv) since it's e.g. used to display the commandline string in `ps'. Since strtoul() reads until it encounters the first non-numeric character and ignores the rest, we can just revert from setting a NULL byte after the numeric part of the string.

2013-09-30netsniff-ng: Display pcap I/O method in verbose modeTobias Klauser2-3/+6
If a user accidentially specifies more than one of --mm/--sg/--clrw, the option specified last will be used - as expected from standard command line tools. In order to still prevent users from being confused by this, explicitely display the pcap I/O method used in verbose mode. In order for the output to be more user-friendly, actually write out the method names in const char *pcap_ops_group_to_str, which isn't used anywhere else anyway.

The line rate is given in Mbit rather than MiB (in which {rx,tx}_bytes were converted). Correct the calculation by converting {rx,tx}_bytes to Mbit: (n bytes * 8 bits per byte) / 1000^2 = (n bytes) / 125000 Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@distanz.ch>

2013-09-02netsniff-ng: Remove unnecessary fmemset() of struct statTobias Klauser1-1/+0

2013-08-30ifpps: Skip reading IRQ number from /proc/interruptsTobias Klauser1-7/+5
We don't use the IRQ number we read from /proc/interrupts, so just skip it while reading. This also allows us to drop the irq_nr member from struct ifstat. Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser <tklauser@distanz.ch>
2013-08-29ifpps: Don't bug out if interface went downTobias Klauser1-2/+5
In case the interface ifpps is running on went down, ifpps bugged out because the stats didn't look plausible anymore, due to the IRQ count being reset: ifpps: ifpps.c:563: stats_diff: Assertion `!((new->irqs[i] - old->irqs[i]) > (new->irqs[i]))' failed Fix this by setting the difference to 0 in this case. ifpps will thus display a irqs/t value of 0 instead of bugging out.

2013-08-29ifpps: Use unsigned int to store number of cpusTobias Klauser1-23/+24

2013-08-21ring_{rx,tx}: verbose: output version and v3 specific infoDaniel Borkmann2-4/+10
Kevin says: With netsniff-ng 0.5.8-rc2+, when I run the below packet capture session, the output seems to imply that 64K of memory is being allocated per frame, which does not look like what I want since my interface MTU is only 1500. This appears to be severely limiting the number of frames I can fit into my packet capture ring. As TPACKET_V3 is used in capturing to pcap files, frames are written continuously to the ring, thus the above will give a wrong impression to the user. Therefore, output such information in verbose mode differently when TPACKET_V3 is being used, as it works block-wise.
