Hi there!
During my thesis research i came across this question that i hope some of you may answer me.
AF-PACKET ring-size configuration defines that “Ring size will be computed with respect to “max-pending-packets” and number of threads”.
Assuming that i have 3 configured interfaces, each one of them using all 16 available threads and max-pending-packet value is set to 10000: 16 x 10000 = 160000 (because max-pending-packets is calculated “per thread”).
Assuming that ring-size is computed with respect to max-pending-packets, ring-size value must be a value bigger than 160000? For example, 200000?
Is there any essential relation between this two variables?
