RE: [ofa-general] mlx4 second port lro issue

Dumb question: what was the MTU setting of the eth interface associated with port 2? Dropping jumbo frames has nothing to do with LRO - it is plain layer 2 functionality. Boris Shpolyansky Sr. Member of Technical Staff, Applications Mellanox Technologies Inc. 350 Oakmead Parkway, Suite 100

Ben, What is the 8-stream BW you are seeing with IPoIB when using datagram mode and MTU=1500? Boris Shpolyansky Sr. Member of Technical Staff, Applications Mellanox Technologies Inc. 350 Oakmead Parkway, Suite 100 Sunnyvale, CA 94085 Tel.: (408) 916 0014 Fax: (408) 585 0314 Cell: (408) 834

Bart, Particular card you were testing doesn't support 5 GT/s PCIe operation. There are other adaptors from the same product family based on ConnectX silicon device that are capable of PCIe gen-2 (5GT/s) link speed. Please, contact your distributor for details. Boris Shpolyansky Sr

I think for small MTU sizes you will see better performance with IPoIB in datagram mode. Boris Shpolyansky Sr. Member of Technical Staff, Applications Mellanox Technologies Inc. 350 Oakmead Parkway, Suite 100 Sunnyvale, CA 94085 Tel.: (408) 916 0014 Fax: (408) 585 0314 Cell: (408) 834 9365
