[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1291660] Re: Intel ixgbe driver doesn't work at 10Gb speeds
I've performed some further experiments. I reran the netperf and iperf tests while using the iptraf tool to validate the netperf and iperf results. Iptraf is within a few percent of netperf and iperf in all cases except iperf tcp stream. Iperf tcp stream shows 9.4 Gb/s, iptraf shows 2.7 Gb/s for the same test run. Differences in the test configurations between netperf and iperf likely account for the different test results in the cases where iptraf validates them.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1291660] Re: Intel ixgbe driver doesn't work at 10Gb speeds
See the attached eth*.log files attached above. I ran ethtool, pings, and netperf on eth0 and eth1 in two different configurations. One configuration is with eth0 and eth1 directly connected to 10 Gb ixgbe adapters on another system. These are labeled ptp for point to point. I ran the same tests again using the ethernet switch that Jeff used when originally filing this bug. These are labeled switch. The data seems to indicate that the ethernet switch/adapter conbination is not running at 10 gig. The point to point connections show better throughput, but not great throughput for a 10 gig adapter. Let me know if you have something specific in mind you'd like me to test.

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v3.13 kernel[0]. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as Confirmed. Thanks in advance.
