h1. AtelierPPS2012

Une attaque sur le réseau gitoyen a eu lieu le 18 juin et une sur tetaneutral.net le 29 juin, ces deux attaques etaient en "paquet par seconde" (PPS) avec de petits paquets de 50-60 byte qui saturent les CPU des routeurs logiciels.

L'idée est d'étudier via des recherches sur le web et des laboratoires/ateliers le comportement des routeurs logiciels dans ce cas la : limites atteintes en fonction du paramétrage et du matériel (carte réseau, CPU et fréquence).

** So with your patch, Eric's patch, and this most recent patch we are now at 11.8Mpps with 8 or 9 queues.  At this point I am staring to hit the hardware limits since 82599 will typically max out at about 12Mpps w/ 9 queues.

*** "In our prototype, a single core running at 900 MHz can send or receive 14.88 Mpps (the peak packet rate on 10 Gbit/s links). This is more than 20 times faster than conventional APIs."

*** " Our architecture, called VALE, implements a Virtual Local Ethernet that can be used by virtual machines such as QEMU, KVM and others, as well as regular processes, to achieve over 17 million packets per second (Mpps) between host processes, and over 2 Mpps between QEMU instances, without any hardware assistance"
