Hi, When I was testing a new NIC, I found the single stream scp performance was almost 8 time slower than Linux on the RX side. Initially I thought it might be something with the NIC. But when I switched to sending the file on localhost, the numbers stay the same.
Here I was sending a 2GB file from sender to receiver using scp. FreeBSD is a recent NON-DEBUG build from CURRENT. The Ubuntu Linux kernel is 6.2.0. Both run in HyperV VMs on the same type of hardware. The FreeBSD VM has 16 vcpus, while Ubuntu VM has 4 vcpu. Sender Receiver throughput Linux FreeBSD 70 MB/s Linux Linux 550 MB/s FreeBSD FreeBSD 70 MB/s FreeBSD Linux 350 MB/s FreeBSD localhost 70 MB/s Linux localhost 550 MB/s >From theses test, it seems I can rule out the issue on NIC and its driver. >Looks the FreeBSD kernel network stack is much slower than Linux on single >stream TCP, or there are some problem with scp? I also tried turning on following kernel parameters on FreeBSD kernel. But it makes no difference, neither do the other tcp cc algorithms such as htcp and newreno. net.inet.tcp.soreceive_stream="1" net.isr.maxthreads="-1" net.isr.bindthreads="1" net.inet.ip.intr_queue_maxlen=2048 net.inet.tcp.recvbuf_max=16777216 net.inet.tcp.recvspace=419430 net.inet.tcp.sendbuf_max=16777216 net.inet.tcp.sendspace=209715 kern.ipc.maxsockbuf=16777216 Any ideas? Thanks, Wei
