[bmwg] question regarding draft-dcn-bmwg-containerized-infra-10

[Gábor LENCSE <[e-mail]>]

Dear Authors,

I have found your topic interesting and I have looked into your slides ( 
https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/116/materials/slides-116-bmwg-considerations-for-benchmarking-network-performance-in-containerized-infrastructures 
) in advance.

I have a question, and I thought that perhaps it is better if I ask it 
in advance and not during the meeting.

I have seen that you have some nice results "From Hackathon 116". There 
are several graphs that show throughput (measured in Gbps) as a function 
of frame size and some different other parameters (e.g. number of CPU 
cores, etc.)

I wonder how many times the tests were repeated, and what summarizing 
function was used (e.g. average, median) to express the results of 
(hopefully) multiple tests only with a single number.
I would be interested in the standard deviation and/or minimum, maximum, 
etc., (whatever you chose) of the results so that I can see that stable 
or scattered nature of the results.

I ask this, because I have noticed among the BIOS settings: "Intel(R) 
Hyper-Threading Tech Enabled", which I always disable to avoid unstable 
results.

Best regards,

Gábor
