We are closing this LP bug for now as we aren't able to reproduce in-house, and we cannot get access to a live testing repro env at this time.
Here is what we know: - There seems to be different performance for some tests when the NIC is configured with active-backup bonding mode, between the case when the active interface is the primary port, and when the active interface is the secondary port. i.e.: Primary port: enp94s0f0 // when this is the active, works fine Secondary port: enp94s0f1d1 // when this is the active, more drops - Switch info: 2 x Fortigate 1024D switches, each machine is connected to both - NIC info: root@u072:~# lspci | grep BCM57416 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM57416 NetXtreme-E Dual-Media 10G RDMA Ethernet Controller (rev 01) # ethtool -i enp1s0f0np0 driver: bnxt_en version: 1.10.0 firmware-version: 214.0.253.1/pkg 21.40.25.31 - Our attempt at a reproducer (initially reported in production env via graphical monitoring): mtr --no-dns --report --report-cycles 60 --udp -s 1428 $DEST good system = ~ 0% drops bad systems = ~ 8% drops We are not getting NIC stats drops, nor UDP kernel drops, so it's not clear where the packet is being dropped, whether it's being dropped silently somewhere (?), or if that's a red herring and a mtr test issue, and what's seen in production is something else. If someone can reproduce this, or something similar, or if we manage to, we will re-open this bug or file a new one. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1853638 Title: BCM57416 NetXtreme-E Dual-Media 10G RDMA Ethernet device seems to be dropping data Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The issue appears to be with the BCM57416 NetXtreme-E Dual-Media 10G RDMA Ethernet device seems to be dropping data Basically, we are dropping data, as you can see from the benchmark tool as follows: tcdforge@x310a:/usr/local/lib/lib/uhd/examples$ ./benchmark_rate --rx_rate 10e6 --tx_rate 10e6 --duration 300 [INFO] [UHD] linux; GNU C++ version 5.4.0 20160609; Boost_105800; UHD_3.14.1.1-0-g98c7c986 [WARNING] [UHD] Unable to set the thread priority.

However, we have the same issue with N210 nodes dropping samples connected to the BCM57416 NetXtreme-E Dual-Media 10G RDMA Ethernet device. There is no problem with the USRPs themselves, as we have tested them with normal 1G network cards and have no dropped samples. Personally I think its something to do with the 10G network card, possibly on a ubuntu driver??? Note, Dell have said there is no hardware problem with the 10G interfaces I have followed the troubleshooting information on this link to try determine the problem: https://files.ettus.com/manual/page_usrp_x3x0_config.html - There is no firewall on that port (disabled). - I tried setting the cpu frequency power but got "no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU". - I also changed the cable to Cat6a connecting the USRPs to the 10G SRIOV port, and I get the same issue This is from the VM with connected USRP x310 tcdforge@x310a:~$ lspci -nn | grep -i ethernet 00:03.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Red Hat, Inc.
