Currently, flow-perf measures the performance of rule installation/deletion operations by breaking down the entire number of operations into windows of fixed size (i.e., 100000 operations per window). Then, flow-perf measures the total time per window and computes an average time across all windows. This commit allows flow-perf users to configure the number of rules per window instead of using a fixed pre-compiled value. To do so, users must pass --rules-batch=N, where N is the number of rules per window (or batch). For consistency reasons, flow_count variable is now renamed to rules_count. This variable is the total number of rules to be installed/deleted. For example, if a user wants to measure how much time it takes to install 1M rules in a certain NIC, he/she can input: --rules-count=1000000 This way flow-perf will break down 1M flow rules into 10 batches of 100k flow rules each (this is the default batch size) and compute an average across the 10 measurements. Now, if the user modifies the number of rules per batch as follows: --rules-count=1000000 --rules-batch=500000 then flow-perf will break down 1M flow rules into 2 batches of 500k flow rules each and compute the average across the 2 measurements. Finally, this commit also adds default variables to the usage function instead of hardcoded values. Signed-off-by: Georgios Katsikas <katsikas.gp@gmail.com> Acked-by: Wisam Jaddo <wisamm@nvidia.com>
