Subject: app/testpmd: optimize MAC swap for Arm
X-Git-Url: http://git.droids-corp.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0ef246a7e8df824d8cab041ffabf8b363904862e;p=dpdk.git

app/testpmd: optimize MAC swap for Arm

Improved MAC swap performance for ARM platform.
The improvement was achieved by using neon intrinsics
to save CPU cycles and doing swap for four packets
at a time.
The optimization had 15% - 20% throughput boost
in testpmd MAC swap mode.
