TCP latency vs sk_pacing_shift value test

TCP latency values test: The tcp_nup test in Flent (https://flent.org)

https://flent.org/intro.html#quick-start

I used the command but test failed:

flent tcp_download -p 1 -l 60 -H 192.168.1.5 -t text-to-be-included-in-plot -o file1.png

error loading plotter: unable to find plot configuration "1"

Try something like:

flent -H 192.168.1.5 -t "sk_pacing_shift 7" tcp_nup --test-parameter upload_streams=1

you can vary the number of TCP streams by changing the upload_streams parameter.

I'm assuming you are running Flent on the device
with the kernel you are trying to test, so you want a TCP transfer going
*from* the device. If not, change "tcp_nup" to "tcp_ndown" and
"upload_streams" to "download_streams". Upload is netperf TCP_STREAM
test, and download is TCP_MAERTS.

When running the above command you'll get a summary output on the
terminal that you can paste on the list; and also a data file to plot
things form. For instance, you can do something like 'flent -p ping_cdf
*.flent.gz' to get a CDF plot of all your test results afterwards.
