I think the main question left is: what can we do if Ethernet flow control *cannot* be disabled in either the server NIC or the switch? (e.g. many Realtek or Atheros -based NICs and switches don't have flow control configurable).
I think that the best solution would be to limit the rate of the data that the server sends to the clients (X, NBD, SSHFS/NFS...) to e.g. 90 Mbps per client at the TCP level, probably using iptables and tc. If someone has the knowledge to do that, we could then add a script in LTSP to make it easier for sysadmins, e.g. `ltsp-config flowcontrol off` ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.
