From James Melin's 12/14/2006 post: Mark, I saw something similar when we first went to SLES-9 (64 bit). We had MTU sizes being negotiated down to an idiotic packet size of 1492. Whether or not this has to do with how our OSA is configured I never did learn. Search for stuff with hipersockets

More info: FTP GET's of this cached 256MB file to /dev/null have run as fast as 205 MB/sec w/ MTU=32760 over hipersocket interfaces, and 168 MB over virtual CTCs. FTP PUT's are a different matter: hipersocket or CTC doesn't make a difference. The higher MTU size, the slower the transfer rate

I've seen this a lot. You need to find the real bottleneck. Are you equiped? Mark Wheeler wrote: More info: FTP GET's of this cached 256MB file to /dev/null have run as fast as 205 MB/sec w/ MTU=32760 over hipersocket interfaces, and 168 MB over virtual CTCs. FTP PUT's are a different

Just to bring everyone up to speed (it's been a while): I've done more testing and so far have seen this only between two SLES9 systems. Things run fine up to MTU=32084; at MTU=32085 and above throughput drops to ~400KB/sec. Problem has been reported to SuSE but haven't heard back from them. What

Hipersocket Performance Problem on SLES 9

Greetings all, I've been using real hipersockets for a couple years now. Recently a significant performance problem with SLES 9 and large MTU sizes was brought to my attention. I've been using MTU=32760. I set up a test to illustrate the problem. I built a 256 MB file on one zLinux guest (running
