As another test, I tried redirecting egress and ingress of the loopback adapter through a common IFB. I couldn’t reproduce it either, but I can only hit ~3Gbit total with cake and flent running on one APU2. If anyone wants to try it (faster hardware?), just run the attached ‘flentlo.sh' with no arguments as root on a box with cake and flent installed and netserver running. One run is done with noqueue and the other with cake datacentre. Interestingly, for me the ‘datacentre' keyword actually both increases total throughput and reduces rtt in this case (3286Mbit/5ms vs 2838Mbit/15ms), so I left that in the test. I wonder if the rtt parameter affects the lockup in any way, but I doubt it. Also, this is a case where using netperf UDP_RR reduces total throughput vs irtt (for me, 2910Mbit vs 3286Mbit), probably due to competition. Pete
