I tried: echo 'performance' > /sys/module/pcie_aspm/parameters/policy
This did not improve performance or reduce packet loss. I don't think it's right to give up and say "Well, this is a BIOS bug." The 18.04 kernel does not exhibit this problem, nor does Windows, but the 20.04 kernel does. It's the kernel's fault, even if the kernel's bad behavior was triggered by a bad BIOS. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1880076 Title: ubuntu 20.4 - retransmitts with r8169 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Hi, i run some network-tests (iperf3) and noticed massive retransmitts in ubuntu 20.4 with kernel 5.4.0-29.
