	Hi all,

Just a quick benchmark on 8.0 Beta2+ (18/08) show no regression vs 7.2.

Result in FPS for 64bytes frame using Breakingpoint Elite

Breakingpoint P1 === DUT === Breakingpoint P2

Stream1 : P1 -> P2
Stream2: P2 -> P1

GENERIC kernel + netisr.direct

4.11 : 236 (with 1 stream down for unknown reason)
6.3   : 248
7.2   : 350
8.0b : 352

POLLING kernel + netisr.direct

4.11 : 526
6.3   : 246
7.2   : 230
8.0b : 330

Note that the perf grow a little bit from version to version but 4.11  
with polling is always a lot better.

There is a lot a more in depth testing to do (HW flow tag, 10gb, lot  
of interface, latency ...) but it give a rough idea of the perf in the  
forwarding area.

Regards,
Fabien
