the usenix paper and talk https://www.usenix.org/conference/usenixfederatedconferencesweek/netmap-novel-framework-fast-packet-io should give a short description of what i did. Basically i manually insert returns (and free mbufs and resources) in some place in the path and then compute the time consumed by the code as the inverse of the average pps over 0.1 .. 1s intervals. By moving the point where i place the return, i can estimate the cost of the various sections of code involved. cheers luigi On Fri, Aug 16, 2013 at 6:59 PM, Adrian Chadd <adrian@freebsd.org> wrote: > Luigi, > > Did you ever publish your patches or methodology for doing sampling? > > > > -adrian > > > On 14 August 2013 21:00, Vijay Singh <vijju.singh@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Is that what FLOWTABLE does?
