[dpdk-dev] [PATCH 0/2] L3FWD sample optimisation

[Thomas Monjalon]

Hi Konstantin,

>  - Unroll things by the factor of 4 whenever possible.
>  - Use SSE instincts for some operations (bswap, replace MAC addresses,

As you are doing optimizations, it's important to know the performance gain.
It could help to mitigate future reworks.
So please, could you provide some benchmarking numbers in the commit log?

Thanks
