Forwarder Comparison Benchmarks
This page is automatically updated by the
testbed CI workflow
on every push to main and weekly on Mondays.
Transport note:
unixsocket numbers are shown for all forwarders. ndn-fwd also supports an in-process SHM face (not tested here). Numbers using different transports are not directly comparable.
