We are running Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS, 14.04.3 LTS and soon 16.04.1 LTS. If we upload (large) files with these protocols the performance go's down to 200kb/s. With IPv4, we have a much higher performance. This is a known issue in the vmxnet3 driver that is fixed upstream on the 21th of April: "This is due to check sum handling issue in the vmxnet3 driver. Fix is on the kernel tree." http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/401727 Kernel Patch: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=f0d437809d23999cb25207cfbe80c61e5703fdc1 Another example of someone who has this problem: https://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2016/03/msg00001.html https://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2016/03/msg00002.html ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: linux-image-3.13.0-61-generic 3.13.0-61.100 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-61.100-generic 3.13.11-ckt22 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-61-generic x86_64 AlsaDevices: total 0 crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 1 Jul 12 14:04 seq crw-rw---- 1 root audio 116, 33 Jul 12 14:04 timer AplayDevices: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'aplay' ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3.21 Architecture: amd64 ArecordDevices: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'arecord' AudioDevicesInUse: Error: command ['fuser', '-v', '/dev/snd/seq', '/dev/snd/timer'] failed with exit code 1: CRDA: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'iw' Date: Fri Jul 22 08:05:09 2016 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=4b881d72-9266-45cd-a12f-f21b55fe1ae7 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-05-08 (805 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu-Server 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140416.2) IwConfig: eth0 no wireless extensions. lo no wireless extensions.
