Hello!

I have extremely low forwarding speed on 7.2-Release box with dual Intel 82575.

Box "B" with dual 82575 nic is connected between A and C using gigabit swithes
A <---> B <----> C


iperf run from A to C shows:

$ iperf -w 128k -c 192.168.111.3 ------------------------------------------------------------
Client connecting to 192.168.111.3, TCP port 5001
TCP window size:   129 KByte (WARNING: requested   128 KByte)
------------------------------------------------------------

[ ID] Interval       Transfer     Bandwidth
[  3]  0.0-11.2 sec    160 KBytes    117 Kbits/sec



the same run from A to B shows:

]$ iperf -w 128k -c 192.168.1.153
------------------------------------------------------------
Client connecting to 192.168.1.153, TCP port 5001

[  3]  0.0-10.0 sec  1.09 GBytes    933 Mbits/sec


and from B to C shows:

$ iperf -w 128k -c 192.168.111.3
------------------------------------------------------------
Client connecting to 192.168.111.3, TCP port 5001

[  3]  0.0-10.0 sec  1.08 GBytes    930 Mbits/sec


Boxes B and C are both dual quad-core e5420 CPUs on Supermicro X7DWN+ motherboard. As A I tried several machines including dual quad-core Phenom system as well as some portable PCs and workstations residing in the same LAN.

Here is ifconfig from B

$ ifconfig
igb0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
   options=19b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4>

   tunnel inet 192.168.1.153 --> 192.168.1.156
   inet 192.168.111.254 --> 192.168.112.254 netmask 0xffffffff


I tried to remove lagg & gif interfaces, boot GENERIC kernel and even set up same net config from LiveFS cd - nothing helps. Forwarding speed sometimes goes up to 1-2 Mbit/sec while local speeds are always above 900Mbit.
System load is less 1%, logs contain nothing interesting...

Any clues and ideas would be appreciated!!!!
