Operating Systems AIX Network Perforamnce - It's just slow! Post 303033114 by hicksd8 on Saturday 30th of March 2019 06:15:04 AM

So you seem to be convinced that this is an ethernet problem. What have you checked?

What about maximum payload configuration? I've seen major issues caused by payload being set to 1502 instead of 1504, for example.
Are some boxes configured to use jumbo packets and others not?
I assume a single chattering ethernet adapter cannot be the issue because the problem is widespread across multiple boxes.
Have you tried putting a wireshark on the traffic to see what's going on?
Do your switches have LED's that tell you what speed has been negotiated?
Have you checked the spec of the ethernet adapters to see what they are capable of?
Stupid question: I assume there is no MS-Windows influence in this at all as they always have network issues with very large files?
Do you have one network device that doesn't handle jumbo packets?

Sorry, more questions than answers I know. Please give more information if you can.

VCONFIG(8)						      System Manager's Manual							VCONFIG(8)

NAME
vconfig - VLAN (802.1q) configuration program. SYNOPSIS
vconfig [lots of long options] DESCRIPTION
The vconfig program allows you to create and remove vlan-devices on a vlan enabled kernel. Vlan-devices are virtual ethernet devices which represents the virtual lans on the physical lan. OPTIONS
add [interface-name] [vlan-id] Creates a vlan-device on [interface-name]. The resulting vlan-device will be called according to the nameing convention set. rem [vlan-device] Removes the named vlan-device. set_flag [vlan-device] 0 | 1 When 1 (the default since 2.6.18), ethernet header reorders are turned on. Dumping the device will appear as a common ethernet device without vlans. When 0 however, ethernet headers are not reordered, which results in vlan tagged packets when dumping the device. Usually the default gives no problems, but some packet filtering programs might have problems with it. set_egress_map [vlan-device] [skb-priority] [vlan-qos] This flags that outbound packets with a particular skb-priority should be tagged with the particular vlan priority vlan-qos. The default vlan priority is 0. set_ingress_map [vlan-device] [skb-priority] [vlan-qos] This flags that inbound packets with the particular vlan priority vlan-qos should be queued with a particular skb-priority. The default skb-priority is 0. set_name_type VLAN_PLUS_VID | VLAN_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD | DEV_PLUS_VID | DEV_PLUS_VID_NO_PAD Sets the way vlan-device names are created. Use vconfig without arguments to see the different formats. NOTES VLAN will use Broadcom's NICE interface when the network device supports it. This is necessary, since usually the hardware of these devices already removes the vlan tag from the ethernet packet. The set_flag option on vlan-devices created on such a physical net- work device will be ignored. Dumping the network-device will show only untagged(non-vlan) traffic, and dumping the vlan-devices will only show traffic intended for that vlan, without the tags. FILES
