Greetings, I've been a happy LVS-NAT user for many years now. I am hoping to migrate to newer hardware, but have been having issues getting LVS-NAT to work with a Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5709 card. The symptom is very poor network performance. Traffic is able to pass through the NAT, but it is brutally slow. Google is my friend and I found this:
http://www.austintek.com/LVS/LVS-HOWTO/HOWTO/LVS-HOWTO.weird_hardware.html#wierd_hardware_IX The last suggestion is to use an EEPro1000 and that is what I have been doing for these past years and haven't seen any issues. Unfortunately, my newer hardware has a broadcom, so I have been attempting to make it work again. I have a situation were I can actively test this issue and attempt to get to the root of the problem if anybody here is interested? I am using stock RHEL6.3 64bit, Dell PowerEdge R510 with all firmware/BIOS updates applied. I tried the disable_msi=1 module option to bnx2 and that did not help. I fired up wireshark on my laptop while attempting to reach the IPVS cluster and get tons of: Reassembled PDU in frame: 1969 TCP Retransmission [TCP Segment of a reassembled PDU] Any ideas? Or I should just save the trouble and purchase a EEPro for the machine? :) thank you, daryl _______________________________________________ Please read the documentation before posting - it's available at: http://www.linuxvirtualserver.org/ LinuxVirtualServer.org mailing list - lvs-users@LinuxVirtualServer.org Send requests to lvs-users-requ...@linuxvirtualserver.org or go to http://lists.graemef.net/mailman/listinfo/lvs-users
