Public bug reported:
Hardware:
HP DL380 Gen 7 server with Gigabit interface.
Ubuntu release: 18.04.1
Since upgrading from 4.15.0-33 to 4.15.0-36, I have noticed a dramatic
slowdown in TCP over IPv6.
Set up: two servers, Server A in US on Ubuntu 18.04.1, Server B in
Europe.
Test: Sending 400MB over TCP from Server B to Server A.
With 4.15.0-33 on Server A, the transfer is completed in 24 seconds,
with average speed of 139 mbps.
With 4.15.0-36 on Server A, the same amount of data is transferred in
369 seconds, average speed less than 9 mbps.
Looking at the result from tcpdump, I see that the there is a big
difference in the TCP Window size.
With 3.15-0.33 the TCP window size is around 30000. But with 3.15-0.36,
the window size is only 734.
