*** will fix build errors + update all libraries to current versions soon ***

quicperf

this project is meant to facilitate quic server performance research and to establish absolute benchmarks of performance amongst implementations.

building

 cd quicperf && cmake -S . -B build && cmake --build build

this will create a build folder in the project directory then download and compile all dependencies and finally compile and link the binaries (lsperf, picoperf, quicheperf, ngtcp2perf, tcpperf) and copy them into the project directory

running

first run a server instance, then run a client instance. the binaries follow the below pattern:

 ./binary mode (client or server) networking (iouring or syscall) serverIpAddress (any, loopback, or ipv6)

for example...

 ./picoperf server syscall loopback
 ./picoperf client syscall loopback

results

the client will print the results....

 root@clr-df9e289c0de04eb2a0cfc75803a0b93e~/quicperf # ./picoperf client syscall
 1.804000 seconds
 4.434590 Gb/s

 root@clr-df9e289c0de04eb2a0cfc75803a0b93e~/quicperf # ./picoperf client iouring
 2.012000 seconds
 3.976143 Gb/s

current limitations

1. Linux only
2. tcp+tls performance is 30% higher when letting boringssl manage the socket IO and BIOs than when doing so manually. suspect they might be avoiding copies.
3. no GRO or GSO but will be added

quicperf's Issues

add xquic

can you add xquic to test

Can you please provide some test results？

Can you please provide some test results？

Question about the code

	void setCallbackData(struct io_uring_sqe *sqe, uint8_t op, void *data)
	{
		sqe->user_data = ((uint64_t)op << 48) | (uint64_t)data;
	}

Is it guaranteed being safe to do so?

add msquic

can add the result of different quic benchmark?

CMake Error in CMakeLists.txt

I was trying to build the repo by running:

cmake -S . -B build && cmake --build build

However, I got the following error messages:
