Say one develops Network Module X, i.e. using Netfilter hooks. X will (simply) mangle the packets and then forward them or do whatever. How can I measure the performance of X module? I am not sure exactly what I am asking but say, I have a Linux router with X module running and I need to get information what is the CPU usage under heavy traffic with, and without X module. Actually it would be nice to see the latency per-packet that X introduces and how it changes if the volume of traffic increases. Any hint would be highly appreciated.
