How to Optimize CPU Performance to Fix Napatech Buffer Drops (Doc ID 2018751.1)

Last updated on NOVEMBER 20, 2023

Applies to:

Oracle Communications Session Monitor - Version 3.3.90 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Purpose

If you experience packet drops in the Napatech host buffer and have already increased the buffer size to 1024 (see <Document 1934414.1> on more details), then this article can be used to optimize CPU usage in the system. This enhances the performance on the "rat" subsystem that reads data from the Napatech buffer, and if the data is read fast enough, then overflows/drops in the host buffer can be avoided.

Note: this document applies to version 3.3.90.1.0 or higher
