I've been seeing this for a few months now on -CURRENT. TCP transfers to local IP addresses (but not 127.0.0.1) are incredibly slow.

Transfer from localhost:

# scp "r...@127.0.0.1:/boot/kernel/kernel" .
kernel 100% 11MB 11.1MB/s 00:00

Appropriately fast.


Transfer from an IP on a local interface:

# scp "r...@216.14.96.4:/boot/kernel/kernel" .
kernel 0% 16KB 13.0KB/s 14:37 ETA


The routes seem normal:


# route get 127.0.0.1
  route to: localhost
destination: localhost
 interface: lo0
     flags: <UP,HOST,DONE,LOCAL>
recvpipe  sendpipe  ssthresh  rtt,msec    mtu        weight    expire
      0         0         0         0     16384         1         0

# route -n get 216.14.96.4
  route to: 216.14.96.4
destination: 216.14.96.0
      mask: 255.255.255.128
 interface: nfe0
     flags: <UP,DONE>
recvpipe  sendpipe  ssthresh  rtt,msec    mtu        weight    expire
      0         0         0         0      1500         1         0


nfe0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
       options=19b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4>
       ether 00:30:48:c6:dd:9c
       inet 216.14.96.4 netmask 0xffffff80 broadcast 216.14.96.127

Takes 10-60 minutes to copy, stalling frequently during the transfer. It's not limited to just scp either, all TCP transfers seem to stall this way.



I don't believe I'm doing anything unusual, has anyone seen anything like this?

Known fallout from the ARPv2 work I believe. As a workaround until it gets fixed:

route add -host (if-ip) -iface lo0 (note I haven't tested this myself)

(see the Jan 2009 freebsd-net@ thread "Bacula: VERY SLOW on SAME host" for some details).

Cheers,
Lawrence
