Title:
BCM57416 NetXtreme-E Dual-Media 10G RDMA Ethernet device seems to be
dropping data
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
The issue appears to be with the BCM57416 NetXtreme-E Dual-Media 10G
RDMA Ethernet device seems to be dropping data
Basically, we are dropping data, as you can see from the benchmark
tool as follows:

In this particular case description, the nodes are USRP x310s. However, we
have the same issue with N210 nodes dropping samples connected to the BCM57416
NetXtreme-E Dual-Media 10G RDMA Ethernet device.
There is no problem with the USRPs themselves, as we have tested them
with normal 1G network cards and have no dropped samples.
Personally I think its something to do with the 10G network card,
possibly on a ubuntu driver???
Note, Dell have said there is no hardware problem with the 10G
interfaces
I have followed the troubleshooting information on this link to try determine
the problem: https://files.ettus.com/manual/page_usrp_x3x0_config.html
- There is no firewall on that port (disabled).
- I tried setting the cpu frequency power but got "no or unknown cpufreq
driver is active on this CPU".
- I also changed the cable to Cat6a connecting the USRPs to the 10G SRIOV
port, and I get the same issue
This is from the VM with connected USRP x310
