Testing memif. I have setup standard LXC that is part of Ubuntu 16.04 I created vpp-slave container and assign it to physical core 2 (isolated) via Cgroup.

I start to measure NDR and gets to 60Kpps (2*30Kpps). Then increasing it further to 100Kpps (2*50Kpps) - bidirectional, VPP stops responding. CLI becomes unresponsive and telnet drops connection (main vpp process keeps running).

At 60Kpps there is 0 loss. At 80Kpps the are some lost packets. So NDR is between 60-80Kpps.

I attached the VPP version, memif outptut, configs… let me know if something more is needed to output.
