Public bug reported: When we was doing jumboframe networking test , the test failed with send packet size>63488. The setup we used was ESX server and two ubuntu 8.04.4 server 64bit Virtual Machine, each with virtual e1000 nic. We have debugged in our side and we determined it is not vmware related issue.
Steps to repro this issue: 1. Setup two ubuntu 8.04.4 server 64bit VM, with e1000 Network adapter and all other default config. 2. Put these two VM in same network. 3. Run network test with netperf and netserver. Start netserver in host A, listen to port 49167 for example, Then in host B, run : netperf -p 49167 -H HostA_IP -L HostB_IP -l 10 -t udp_stream -- -s 131072, -S 131072, -m 63488 We can see "0" through put for the test. UDP UNIDIRECTIONAL SEND TEST from 192.168.136.62 (192.168.136.62) port 0 AF_INET to 192.168.136.61 (192.168.136.61) port 0 AF_INET Socket Message Elapsed Messages Size Size Time Okay Errors Throughput bytes bytes secs # # 10^6bits/sec 262142 63488 60.00 286788 0 2427.67 124928 60.00 0 0.00 Note: 1. No issue found for ubuntu later versions like ubuntu 1104, 1110 2. No issue found for smaller packet size 3. If you have real e1000 nic, please try and see if could repro on physical machine. ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1017915 Title: ubuntu 8.04.4 server 64bit jumboframe with packet size>63488 failed on VMware VM with virtual e1000 nic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1017915/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
