What is SMAP? Cloud you give me more info?
So if we think the 3M as the wire speed, you expect the result
can reach 2.8M pps/core, right?
Now the recv result is 2.5M(2463646) pps/core.
Do you think there is a huge gap?
My tool makes udp packet and lookup route, so it take more much cpu.
I am confused.

Now the recv result is 2.5M (2463646 = 3,343,168/1.357) pps/core. Do you think
the difference is big?
My tool makes udp packets and looks up routes, so it requires more CPU.
I'm confused. Is there something I misunderstood?
