The tpa_aborts shouldn't be a concern. They merely indicate that a TCP flow could not be aggregated. That could have a performance impact, of course, but that should manifest as counted drops somewhere if this were the case.
Importantly, the tpa_aborts only apply to TCP traffic, but you see the problem for ICMP and UDP too. Note, the tpa_aborts also appear to be evident on the primary as active interface while things are working as expected. A difference in magnitude tpa_aborts from one test run to another may be a clue about something else that's happening though, but I'm not sure that we are comparing apples to apples with respect the ethtool -S dumps posted thus far (when were they captured relative to the test runs, which interface was active at the time, etc?). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1853638 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: tcdforge@x310a:/usr/local/lib/lib/uhd/examples$ ./benchmark_rate --rx_rate 10e6 --tx_rate 10e6 --duration 300 [INFO] [UHD] linux; GNU C++ version 5.4.0 20160609; Boost_105800; UHD_3.14.1.1-0-g98c7c986 [WARNING] [UHD] Unable to set the thread priority.

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 tcdforge@x310a:~$ lspci -nn | grep -i ethernet 00:03.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Red Hat, Inc.
