Hi all,


I'm testing network connectivity (speed and reliability) on a OpenShift cluster 
3.1.



I do this with 2 pods, each based on iperf3 Docker image.



First pod starts iperf3 as server, other one as iperf3 client with: iperf3 -c 
iperf3 -t 120 (iperf3 name of server pod).



What I notice is high throughput but also big retransmission rates:

eg.

duration              Transfer              Bandwidth         Retransmissions 
(TCP)

0.00-120.00 sec 214 GBytes         15.3 Gbits/sec   170478



If the pods are on 2 different nodes, the retransmission rate is smaller (as is 
throughput):



duration              Transfer              Bandwidth         Retransmissions 
(TCP)

0.00-120.00 sec 22.6 GBytes       1.62 Gbits/sec   3627



What I was wondering - what causes this higher retransmission rates ? (Mostly, 
it's a sign the are network problems but is it ?)



(I did some other tests, like deploying the containers via the Docker daemon 
onto 1 server. And even on a local laptop with only Docker daemon installed - 
and I always saw these tcp retransmission rates...)





Thanks in advance !



kind regards,

Erik
