Public bug reported:
We are investigating migrating our servers from Xenial to Bionic.
We are seeing significant network differences between the 2 LTS versions.
Using the same hardware an machines connected to a single swith on the same
network, we see:
10% less packets throuput on bionic in comparision to Xenial when running uperf.
Also "tc -s qdisc" report packets been dropped on Bionic but not Xenial.
The command iperf -c <host> -u -d -p 20 timeout on Bionic and not on Xenial,
and if you reduce the value of p, you will see more packet drops on Bionic.
We tryied to upgrade the xenial kernel to the same version than bionic.
We did not see any improvement.
All the tests are performed with 4 identical physical machines connected
to the same physical switch. With one bionic machine, one Xenial machine
and 2 extra Xenial machine that act as iperf/uperf clients.
All 4 nodes are configured as ntp peers with each others. Under load,
the bionic machine see siginificant jitter improvement with the 3 others
machines. We don't see that with the Xenial hosts.
I doesn't seems to be an hardware compatibilities issue as we see
significant network performance loss in our datacenter on fully
different hardware.
