Might want to look into getting your partition running in Power8 mode instead of Power7 compatibility mode. Also should think about getting off of AIX 6.1.

Have you check to see if there are any hardware problems or errors on the network interface?

Regarding your arp it looks fairly clear to me that you have a lot of devices on this ethernet segment.

When you have many devices on the same segment, sometimes packets will be delayed. That is now networking works.
On this ethernet segment we have many servers, but only these two servers got error, so I don't think this's the point.

This could be a point - we installed AIX 6.1 on an IBM p8 server but we're not sure. Do you have any suggesions? The network and hardware devices is OK

A slight delay in a packet on a busy Ethernet segment is not "an error". That is how Ethernet works.

What you are "showing us' (an occasional 44 ms delay) is typical of all busy Ethernet segments with many devices.

44 ms is 44 one thousandths of a second. 44/1000 seconds.

The way in which you answer my questions shows you do not understand LAN networking and Ethernet (or networking in general).

Delays on an Ethernet segment are not "errors" and nor is it a sign of "instability". This his how the Ethernet (and indeed most networking protocols work) protocols works (queues, delays, priorities).

If you want guaranteed fast delivery between two hosts, you need to move them to their own Ethernet segment with only two devices on that network.

This is the only approach any experienced network engineer would take or advise.

Think about how Ethernet works. Every device wants to talk at the same time on the same wire. They cannot talk at the same time. The more devices, the more this happens. Each device will wait a random number of milliseconds to transmit when the network is busy. This is now LANs work. The more devices, the more a chance of a delay. So..... a 44ms delay (44/1000 of a second) occasionally on a busy LAN segment is normal.

As I mentioned to you, but you do not seem to want to understand, you want guaranteed fast delivery between two hosts on a LAN segment, you need to move them to their own Ethernet segment with only two devices on that physical networking segment.

Reference:

Network delay - Wikipedia

Quote:
Network delay is an important design and performance characteristic of a computer network or telecommunications network. The delay of a network specifies how long it takes for a bit of data to travel across the network from one communication endpoint to another. It is typically measured in multiples or fractions of seconds. Delay may differ slightly, depending on the location of the specific pair of communicating endpoints. Engineers usually report both the maximum and average delay, and they divide the delay into several parts:

Processing delay - time it takes router to process the packet header
Queuing delay - time the packet spends in routing queues
Transmission delay - time it takes to push the packet's bits onto the link
Propagation delay - time for a signal to reach its destination
There is a certain minimum level of delay that will be experienced due to the time it takes to transmit a packet serially through a link. Onto this is added a more variable level of delay due to network congestion. IP network delays can range from just a few milliseconds to several hundred milliseconds.
Your occasional delay of 44ms is small and normal for Ethernets. In addition, each h/w device (LAN card for example) can have a different characteristic. The more devices on the LAN segment, the more of a chance for crosstalk, etc.

If you need better performance, all network engineers, not only me, will advise you to put the two devices on their own (dedicated) LAN segment. This is the only way to insure the LAN segment delay is minimal.

If you don't want to believe a network systems engineer with over 30 years IP and Internet-based networking experience (33+ to be more exact), maybe you will believe the myriad references on the Internet:

Networking 101: Primer on Latency and Bandwidth - High Performance
Browser Networking (O'Reilly)


(just one of hundreds / thousands of examples on the net which discuss this topic.)

In addition, ping does not measure latency nor does it measure round-trip time. It measures ICMP echo request response time. ICMP messages run with low priority and take longer than other traffic. This means that if any single host on your network is "talking" at the same time (cross talk), your ping packet will be delayed.

As I mentioned, 44 ms is not much delay. It is 44/1000 of second.

If you need faster times between two devices on the same LAN segment, the #1 solution is to move the devices to their own LAN segment.

Also, this reference might be useful:

You can easily see in the diagram that the way the LAN is configured is the key to client/server response time on a LAN segment.

Hence, when you showed us your arp configuration, it was easy to see you have many clients / hosts on a single LAN segment.

You're right. I hardly know about the networking, but some guys in network team told me that there's nothing wrong with the network devices, network configuration or something like that. They told me to focus on the server and OS. I have to agree with them because there're some servers which almost have the same network configuration with the two new servers, but have no problem like them

And it's a misunderstanding that I don't belive you. It's just a complicated case, and I don't have enough knowledge to solve it .

Yes, I understand.

When on a LAN segment you should also realize that every hardware interface to the LAN can have a different characteristic.

Some ethernet cards are more "chatty" and some are less "chatty" and some are "old" and others are "new" and some have drivers / firmware written by "A" and others have drivers / firmware written by "B".

You say "you don't have a lot of knowledge"... that's normal.

So, I am telling you what an experienced network engineer with a lot of knowledge would so.

If I had a busy LAN segment with a lot of devices on the same segment (subnet), as you have indicated, and I had two devices which I wanted to have the best communication speed between them, I would put them on their own LAN segment (subnet) and "be done with it" and maybe "retest" when the two devices are the only two devices (or three if you have a different gateway device) on that segment.
