[TX300 S8] Slow network transfer speeds

Postby Goggel » Wed Dec 30, 2020 16:55

Hi, I am setting up a proxmox server and ran into an issue with the transfer speeds.
I am fully aware that only REHL, Suse and MS Windows Server are officially supported.

When I finished setting up Proxmox (6.2) I noticed that the network speeds far below expectation, about half the speed I was expecting from a 1gb connection.
(onboard Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation I350 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 01)

So, I ran iperf3 a few times this was confirmed:
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bitrate Retr
[ 5] 0.00-10.00 sec 557 MBytes 55.7 MBytes/sec sender
[ 5] 0.00-10.00 sec 555 MBytes 55.5 MBytes/sec receiver

The same goes for Ubuntu, Debian and other Debian Based distros

Tested Centos, Fedora (RHEL based distros) and Windows
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth
[ 5] 0.00-10.01 sec 1.09 GBytes 111 MBytes/sec sender
[ 5] 0.00-10.01 sec 1.08 GBytes 111 MBytes/sec receiver

Tested the same thing with a 4-port HP NC365T (Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82580 Gigabit Network Connection (rev 01) ,same results

How can I resolve this.

Thanks

can you send the output of the ethtool command for each connection? have you tried other cables?

It seems that can be a driver issue...have you checked the release notes?
