Hi Ivan,
If your issues are still the following: streaming works fine for FFT length
256, but causes streaming errors at FFT lengths 512 and above, the issue is
very likely related to the packet length that the FFT block produces.

The stock RFNoC FFT block from Ettus asserts TLAST on the final FFT sample,
which makes the packet length equal to the FFT length.  For a 512 point
FFT, this means that the number of bytes in a packet is 2048+header_bytes.
This is a problem if the interface MTU is less than that (often at 1500).
So, the answer is to figure out how to get the interface MTU set to a
larger value.  If that is not possible, then the answer is to modify the
FFT block so that the packet length is not dependent on the FFT size. For
example, the FFT block could assert TLAST every 256 samples, independent of
the actual FFT length.  There are old posts about this if you search the
archive.
