I have tested LWIP wth win pcap on window2000 and its giving me more than 40Mbps both Tx and Rx, but i have created my own socket layer and my own thread safe mechanism usning Raw API. With some minor tuning one can achieve very high thruputs with lwip for sure.

Hi all,

I've been recently working getting the mscv6 port to work so that I can tryout patches at home where I have no embedded hardware to test.

Getting the current code to run was not that hard. I have added an OS layer to be able to test socket api based applications.

I have implemented a TCP server test which waits for a client to send some test parameters. After receiving the parameters (mainly number of packets to send), the server sends X 'packets' with 1460 bytes data each (with 'packets' I mean it calls lwip_send X times with 1460 bytes each time).

Now, I have the following question: On my embedded system (altera NIOS running at 60 MHz), I achieve lwIP send rate of about 2MByte/s. However, on my PC (1.3 GHz Windows XP SP2), I only get ~4-8 packets per second!!! (While processor is always around 100%)

And no, the socket interface it not the bottleneck here. I've had a look at the processor consumation of each thread: tcpip_thread is the highest with about 60 %, then comes the input thread (winpcap->pbufs) with about 40%, after that the socket thread with nearly 0% (it does not do really much for a 1.3 GHz PC, anyway...)

Does anyone have experience with the winpcap network driver? Did I make some mistake here? Or is there any problem with that XP service pack network limitations I heard of somewhere?

Simon
