Hi Dario,

The FPGA code has the max MTU hard-coded to 10, which matches your block,
so that's good. That's the hard limit on CHDR packet size. You also need
some headroom for header information, so the limit is less than 8192 bytes
of payload. Make sure the MTU for your Ethernet interface is set to
something larger than what you need (9000 is a common setting). I would
also try setting the streamer args spp, recv_frame_size, and
send_frame_size. The spp is in samples and should match the size your block
is configured to generate. The *_frame_size arguments are in bytes and need
to be bigger than the equivalent spp size. More information on setting
these args can be found here:

Thanks,

Wade
