Hi Frank,

it's pretty straightforward. Just follow the steps:

apt install tuned

tuned-adm profile network-latency

According to [1]:

network-latency
   A server profile focused on lowering network latency.
   This profile favors performance over power savings by setting
   |intel_pstate| and |min_perf_pct=100|. It disables transparent huge
   pages, and automatic NUMA balancing. It also uses *cpupower* to set
   the |performance| cpufreq governor, and requests a
   /|cpu_dma_latency|/ value of |1|. It also sets /|busy_read|/ and
   /|busy_poll|/ times to |50| μs, and /|tcp_fastopen|/ to |3|.

Cheers.

Hi Stefan,

can you provide a link to or copy of the contents of the tuned-profile so 
others can also profit from it?

Thanks!

Hi Anthony and others,

thank you for your reply.  To be honest, I'm not even looking for a
solution, i just wanted to ask if latency affects the performance at all
in my case and how others handle this ;)

One of our partners delivered a solution with a latency-optimized
profile for tuned-daemon. Now the latency is much better:

apt install tuned

tuned-adm profile network-latency

Check the netmask on your interfaces, is it possible that you're sending

Dear Users,

i recently setup a new ceph 3 node cluster. Network is meshed between all nodes 
(2 x 25G with DAC).
Storage is flash only (Kioxia 3.2 TBBiCS FLASH 3D TLC, KCMYXVUG3T20)

The latency with ping tests between the nodes shows:

On another cluster i have much better values, with 10G SFP+ and fibre-cables:

64 bytes from large-ipv6-ip: icmp_seq=42 ttl=64 time=0.081 ms
64 bytes from large-ipv6-ip: icmp_seq=43 ttl=64 time=0.078 ms

53 packets transmitted, 53 received, 0% packet loss, time 53260ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.071/0.082/0.111/0.006 ms

If i want best performance, does the latency difference matter at all? Should i 
change DAC to SFP-transceivers wwith fibre-cables to improve overall ceph 
performance or is this nitpicking?

Thanks a lot.
