DRA829V: Why Ethernet performance becomes worse from SDK8.6 to SDK9.1 ?

Part Number: DRA829V

Tool/software:

Hi,

 

There are the following Ethernet Throughput benchmark results in the document of Processor SDK Linux for j721e 08_06_00 and 09_01_00.

It seems that TCP Bidirectional Throughput performance becomes significantly worse from SDK 8.6 to SDK 9.1. Especially CPU Load.

Could you please help to explain why it becomes worse ?
