Re: [E1000-devel] packet loss with 82579LM and 82574L

Thanks for the info. You data analysis seems accurate to me and looks like packets are dropped silently.
To my wonder I have found that there is an erratum for 82579 packet loss issue. It's a chipset spec update however there is no existed workaround for this erratum as of now. http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/documents/specification-updates/6-and-c200-chipset-specification-update.pdf

Tushar,

ethtool -S eth0 shows that my 440000 packets (plus 11 other non test packets) were transmitted with no errors on the transmitter.  On the receive system, only 439989 packets were received and no errors or drops are recorded.

I have included the full before and after ethtool output below.

Thanks,
Joe

I guess so.
Okay so now that you are seeing issue only with 82579, does device stats 'ethtool -S ethx' shows any packet begin dropped? How much packets being dropped vs how many sent/rcv?

Tushar,

I changed the test around so I could use just the 82579LM or the 82574L.
When I run with just the 82574L, everything works fine!  At this point it
appears that I have an issue with the 82579LM.  Is there any chance it is
having a similar power saving kind of issue?

Thanks for the help,
Joe

Tushar,

Thanks for the reply.

The eeprom fix made the packet loss occur less frequently, but it is
still happening in 1 out of 5 tests in lieu of 5 out of 5 tests.  I am
running the latest BIOS.

I can give you the long debug output if you like, but the symptom is the
same: missing packets that are not counted anywhere.

Thanks for the help,
Joe

Subject: [E1000-devel] packet loss with 82579LM and 82574L

Hello,

I am building a line of WAN emulators using Supermicro X9SCV-Q-0
motherboards (82579LM and 82574L Gigabit Network Connections).  This
WAN emulator will not be very good if it discards packets when the
user has not asked for that behavior.  So, I am concerned about
dropped packets.

As a test of the NICs, I am trying to transmit UDP packets from one
system to another using netperf in the following configuration:

first X9SCV-Q-0 motherboard -> eth1 -> 3ft cat6 cable -> eth0 ->
second
X9SCV-Q-0 motherboard

For 82574 please try script at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/files/e1000e%20stable/eeprom_fix_825
74_or_82583/ and see if helps with the issue.

Also please check if your system has latest BIOS.

-Tushar

A general summary of the testing is as follows:
test 880,000 packets from transmitter to receiver
transmitter:
880,021 packets sent total
880,002 of those were UDP
receiver:
879,999 packets received total
879,980 of those were udp

It appears that 22 of my packets have disappeared without a trace.

Below is a rather lengthy summary of the commands I have used to run
the test and look at the network statistics.
It is possible that I may have missed something so any help is
appreciated.

Best,
Joe Wilhelmi
