Hi,

My machine ethtool -i info.

driver: mlx4_en
version: 2.1.6 (Aug 27 2013)
firmware-version: 2.5.0
bus-info: 0000:19:00.0

Even after applying patch problem still occur. Can you tell me the reason
for this why decrease in Sending side happen ?
 Is this problem regarding iperf  or TCP/IP stack or nic card ?

Regards
Varun Sharma

 Hi Varun,



Can you please share your driver and firmware versions using "ethtool -i
ethX" ?

Also, attached a patch that fixes bidirectional functional issue.



Thanks,

Hi,

I am using iperf v 2.0.5 for testing the Mellanox ConnectX VPI card. Its a
dual port 10G card. Two 16 core machines with 64GB RAM are connected back
to back.

In *TCP Bidirectional test* case sending throughput decrease as compare to *TCP
Unidirectional test* case sending .

All cases use default setting . No extra parameter is set.



In case of 4 Client threads Output comes :--

Unidirectional Send Process --- *9.6* Gbps

Bidirectional Send Process ----  *4.9*  Gbps


In case of 8 Client threads Output comes :--

Unidirectional Send Process --- *9.7* Gbps

Bidirectional Send Process -- * 6.4* Gbps


In case of 16 Client threads Output comes :--

 Unidirectional Send Process ---* 9.7* Gbps

 Bidirectional Send Process --    *8* Gbps

  Any reason for this outcome ?

Regards

Varun
