SO here attached are 2 differents graphs that illustrate the problem. So I ran uperf 1000 time on bionic and Xenial. the bit throughput graph show the percentiles distribution of the bits/seconds calculated by uperf. YOu will see 2 bionic run on 2 separate machine.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1862044] Re: packet loss, extra latency and lower bandwidth on bionic
Reproducing step: Take 3 machines, connect them on the same network through a single switch (to limits network bandwith/latency effects) run uperf on 3 of them, 2 slave and one master. I am using the following uperf script: if you put n big enough (50 in my case seems a good value) on the same hardware you will have significant throughput differences between Bionic and Xenial. On hundred runs, I see an avergae throuhput 719,8 Mbits/s in and 719,9 Mbits/s out on xenial and 608,2 Mbits/s in and 608,3 Mbits/s out on Bionic. That represent 20% network performance on bionic. Also if I run sudo tc -s qdisc or netstat, we see packets been dropped on Bionic but not Xenial. I ran that test because we see network performance issue (TCP timeouts/packet drop) when validating our application on bionic in our datacenter, which is using a completly different hardware. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1862044 Title: packet loss, extra latency and lower bandwidth on bionic Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: We are investigating migrating our servers from Xenial to Bionic.
