+# RSS / LRO
+
+HW-acceleration for ending traffic.
+For routed traffic PPE is needed and hw offloading in nftables.
+Bridged traffic may need addional changes (openwrt use bridger utility).
+
+## RSS
+
+(Receive Side Scaling)
+
+using 4 additional IRQ for spreading load
+
+cat /proc/interrupts | grep ethernet
+
+echo 1 > /proc/irq/105/smp_affinity
+echo 2 > /proc/irq/106/smp_affinity
+echo 4 > /proc/irq/107/smp_affinity
+echo 8 > /proc/irq/108/smp_affinity
+
+moving tx frame-engine irq to different cpu (here 3rd)
+echo 4 > /proc/irq/103/smp_affinity
+
+disable RPS (Receive Packet Steering) for all macs:
+echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/soc/15100000.ethernet/net/eth0/queues/rx-0/rps_cpus
+
+pay attention on iperf-version (iperf 3.17 is ok, 3.12 is not)
+
+traffic must be created using multiple streams so that it can be splitted, so use multithreaded iperf3
+
+on R4:
+bin/iperf3 -s
+
+on the other side:
+iperf3 -c 192.168.1.1 -i 1 -P 4
+
+you should reach ~9.3 GBit/s
+
+and see spreading load over CPU cores

+using the default iperf3 from debian bookworm (3.12) results in only 6.7GBit/s
+
+## LRO
+(Large Receive Offload)
+
+Add HW LRO RX rule:
+
+ethtool -N [interface] flow-type tcp4 dst-ip [IP] action 0 loc [0/1]
+
+Delete HW LRO RX rule:
+
+ethtool -N [interface] delete [0/1]
+
+Enable/Disable HW LRO rule:
+
+ethtool -K [interface] lro [on | off]
+
+Show the current offload features:
+
+ethtool -k [interface]
+
+example:
+
+ethtool -N eth2 flow-type tcp4 dst-ip 192.168.1.1 action 0 loc 0
+ethtool -K eth2 lro on
+ethtool -k eth2
+
+using iperf instead of iperf3!
+
+verify with propritary debugfs
+Enable HW LRO rings
+echo 4 1 > /proc/mtketh/hw_lro_auto_tlb
+Enable HW LRO statistics
+echo 5 1 > /proc/mtketh/hw_lro_auto_tlb
