To benchmark network throughput, this Skill automates iperf3 tests to measure IPv4 and IPv6 performance across different firewall topologies. It generates traffic to validate network configurations under load.
CPU profiling captures kernel-level performance data using perf record to identify specific BPF program overheads. It analyzes kernel symbols to isolate packet parsing and NAT bottlenecks.
Yes, you can validate firewall performance in clustered incus environments. The Skill facilitates performance validation across standalone VMs and clustered managed infrastructure.
The best way to compare IPv4 and IPv6 firewall performance is running the Skill with the all argument. This executes a full throughput comparison and CPU profiling report.
Yes, you need access to incus-managed infrastructure and standard Linux performance monitoring tools. These dependencies execute the automated traffic generation and diagnostic workflows.
Firewall CPU usage spikes during packet parsing are identified by capturing kernel-level performance data with perf. This pinpoints specific BPF overheads causing processing bottlenecks.
