Regarding your question about LLDP and IPv6... The default Ubuntu 18.04.3 configuration has an IPv6 enabled kernel, but the interface only has the default link local address configured. I've seen it do router solicitation on link state changes and periodically thereafter. I think I recall seeing

The tpa_aborts shouldn't be a concern. They merely indicate that a TCP flow could not be aggregated. That could have a performance impact, of course, but that should manifest as counted drops somewhere if this were the case. Importantly, the tpa_aborts only apply to TCP traffic, but you see the

I have tried, unsuccessfully, to reproduce this issue internally. Details of my setup below. 1) I have a pair of Dell R210 servers racked (u072 and u073 below), each with a BCM57416 installed: root@u072:~# lspci | grep BCM57416 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM57416

I don't think bnxt_en exposes the disable_tpa parameter. Be that as it may, I think the tpa_aborts may be a red herring. TPA aggregates TCP flows and you are seeing the issue with ICMP. In which direction(s) of traffic flow do you see the losses? -- You received this bug notification because

I am an engineer at Broadcom and have been assigned to investigate this issue. To that end, I have a few clarifying questions: 1a) What is the benchmark tool you are using and could you provide a link to where I can get it? b) What kind of network traffic is it sending? 2a) In what units are
