Hi Eugene,

I also encountered this issue. I’m currently investigating the X4_400 image 
since it supports the replay block. Have you already tried this?

Best,
Peter

Hello,

I am returning to the problem reported a few months ago:

I have two X440s with X_200 image connected to a Threadripper 24 core.  I am 
using two 10 GbE direct connect cables for each USRP (total of 4x 10 GbE).

I was able to get RX working, but TX is getting continuous underflows.


  *
Using the benchark_rate example.
  *
Underflows observed both w/ DPDK and w/out DPDK
  *
Underflows observed with 4, 8 channels and 16 channels
     *
Fewer underflows with 4 channels, but still get a few per minute
  *
Priority high/normal does not make a difference (usually)

IMPORTANT: If I use only one interface ( 
—args=addr=192.168.10.2,mgmt_addr=192.168.1.10) there are no underflows with up 
to 7 channels (max to fit in 10 GbE).

./benchmark_rate 
--args=addr0=192.168.10.2,second_addr0=192.168.11.2,mgmt_addr0=192.168.1.10,addr1=192.168.15.2,second_addr1=192.168.16.2,mgmt_addr1=192.168.1.20,clock_source=external,use_dpdk=1,type=x4xx,product=x440
 --tx_channels 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 --tx_rate 40.96e6 --tx_cpu sc16 --multi_streamer 
--duration 120

This should be trivial for such a powerful machine!

I am suspecting an issue with handling of packets across multiple network 
interfaces.  Are the TX flow control packets not getting to the right place?

This is a critical failure — not something I expect for a $35k box 🙂
