Genode network performance

[Daniel Waddington]

Hi,

On the subject of improving network stack performance, I observe 50% 
less throughput on Genode+Fiasco.OC+LWIP versus Linux on exactly the 
same Intel-based hardware. I am sending UDP packets; Linux @ 324K PPS 
and Genode @ 167 KPPS.  Using 64bit kernels. This is using 
out-of-the-box Genode IPXE DDE with E1000 NIC card.

Does this performance difference sound reasonable and expected? Is there 
some expected significant performance overhead with using DDE as opposed 
to a native NIC driver?

My next step will be to look at raw ethernet packet performance.

Daniel
