The benchmark performance tests can be run without Onload
using the regular kernel network drivers. To do this remove the onload
part from the command line.
TCP Throughput with Netperf
Run the net-server application on system-1:
[system-1]# pkill -f netserver
[system-1]# taskset -c 1 netserver
Run the netperf application on system-2:
[system-2]# taskset -c 1 \
netperf -t TCP_RR -H <system1-ip> -l 10 -- -r 32

Observe the reduced transaction rate compared to that achieved with Onload (see Throughput with Onload above).
