[Nfd-dev] [EXT] NFD Profiling tool

[Junxiao Shi]

Hi Ahmed

Rebuild ndn-cxx and NFD with code coverage: ./waf configure --with-coverage
When you run NFD, it will generate coverage files.
You can then analyze them with lcov.

Forwarding performance is measured in terms of packets per second, not Gbps.
NFD is capable of 4800 Data packets per second, as reported on
https://redmine.named-data.net/issues/1819#note-2 .
If you need higher speeds, use YaNFD or NDN-DPDK.

Yours, Junxiao
