NXP iMX8M Plus 双网口性能测试
Verdin iMX8M Plus 是 Toradex 采用 NXP 最新的 i.MX 8M Plus 处理器的计算机模块,其具有 4x Cortex-A53 和 Cortex-M7 核心,支持神经网络加速运算的 NPU,H.265 硬件编码,CAN FD ,以及双路千兆以太网。配合 Verdin 开发板,用户可以直接测试两路以太网。文章将对网络性能做简要的测试。
使用 Toradex Easy Installer 安装 Linux BSP v5.3.0, 默认的配置已经支持两路千兆以太网。因此安装完成重启后即可看到两个网络接口。

Eth0 上的数据转发到 Eth1
为了将 Eth0 的数据转发到 Eth1,需要设置 /etc/sysctl.conf 。
# needed for routing, including masquerading or NAT
net/ipv4/ip_forward=1
然后运行 sysctl 另设置生效,当然重启系统也可以。
root@verdin-imx8mp:~# sysctl -p
设置转发规则。
root@verdin-imx8mp:~# iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE
root@verdin-imx8mp:~# iptables -A FORWARD -m conntrack --ctstate RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
root@verdin-imx8mp:~# iptables -A FORWARD -i eth1 -o eth0 -j ACCEPT
在 PC2 上启动 iperf3 服务器,PC 1 运行 iper3 客户端发送数据,所有的数据由 Verdin iMX8M Plus 负责从 Eth0 转发到 Eth1 上。

Verdin iMX8M Plus CPU 占用率:
数据汇总如下。
两个千兆网口无论是在单独还是同时收发数据时都达到920Mbps 以上,包括网口之间的数据转发,基本接近满带宽。在 CPU 占用方面,当两个千兆网口以接近满带宽速率同时工作时,其中一个核心站占用率会超过 70%。
总结
Verdin iMX8M Plus 的双网口设计为多网口需求的应用提供了理想的选择,例如在工业自动化中,一个网口运行实时性要求高的应用如 EtherCAT,而另外一个则可以用于一般的网络通信。或者另一个网口可以用作冗余接口,或者连接两个不同的网络。Verdin iMX8M Plus 还有许多其他实用的功能,我们会在后续的文章进行介绍。
