Subject: Problematic throughput numbers
Date: Wed, 25 Sep 2024 12:36:43 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cb0a5320-12d7-4e0d-acee-2029b2fd89fa@redhat.com> (raw)
I made many runs with iperf3 ns->host, and the results are puzzling me.
Over and over again, I see throughput practically collapse, with a two
orders of magnitude decrease.
Just to make sure this wasn't something introduced by me, I went back to
the master branch and disabled the SO_PEEK_OFF feature.
The result was the same.
The below log shows typical run, but it is highly variable.
Sometimes almost the whole series is in the 50-70 Gb/s range, and
sometimes almost all in the 100-300 Mb/s range.
When I added the kernel fix it didn't seem to make any difference.
To me this is really worrying, and should be investigated.
