For some reason it wouldn't go past around 25 MB/s. After having replaced SSL with no SSL, replaced apache with nginx and verified that there is plenty of bandwith available between my client and the server I tried to change qdisc from fq to pfifo_fast.

The tcp client is nginx reverse proxy at 10.0.5.13 on the same subnet which again is proxying the connection from the Windows 10 client. - I did try to connect directly to the server with the client (via a linux gateway router) avoiding the nginx proxy and just using plain no-ssl http. That did not change anything. - I also tried stopping the eth0 interface to force the traffic to the eth1 interface in the LACP which changed nothing. - I also pulled each of the cable on the switch to force the traffic to switch between interfaces in the LACP link between the client switch and the server switch. The CPU is a 5-6 year old Intel Xeon X3430 CPU @ 4x2.40GHz on a SuperMicro platform.

This is because setting timers is expensive, and our design choices for pacing tried hard to avoid setting timers for every 2 packets sent (as in 1-MSS packets) ;) ( https://lwn.net/Articles/564978/ ) Of course this does not really matter for slow links (Like 10Mbit or 100Mbit NIC) > > > On 26 January 2017 at 22:07, Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> > wrote: > On Thu, 2017-01-26 at 22:02 +0100, Hans-Kristian Bakke wrote: > > It seems like it is not: > > > > It really should ;) > > This is normally the default.

Eric Dumazet made some recent fixes (Linux v5.6) to make Hystart dynamically adapt to the presence of pacing to avoid this issue: 473900a504e5 tcp_cubic: optimize hystart_update() 35821fc2b41c tcp_cubic: remove one conditional from hystart_update() cff04e2da308 tcp_cubic: switch bictcp_clock() to usec resolution 42f3a8aaae66 tcp_cubic: tweak Hystart detection for short RTT flows ede656e84658 tcp_cubic: make Hystart aware of pacing f278b99ca6b2 tcp_cubic: refactor code to perform a divide only when needed neal ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 15+ messages in thread
