Question IPV6 very slow, not respecting MTU??
Hi,

Curious problem with IPV6. Situation is wget request from squid proxy via intermediate router. With IPV4 (wget -4) speed is ~100MB/sec. With IPV6 (wget -6) it drops to 30KB/sec.

Examining the traffic with tcpdump shows that the squid box is regularly sending out over-sized packets (>MTU) and receiving "ICMP6 packet too big" responses from the router. It then behaves for a few packets before trying it on again. With IPV4 it never sends an oversize packet (same route over same interfaces).

Any suggestions where to poke appreciated!


Some configuration details:

Code:
# ifconfig eth1
eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:0C:29:80:23:32  
          inet addr:192.168.1.228  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.224

All platforms are Centos 6.0 on VMware ESXi 4.1, using the vmxnet3 driver.

All offload is disabled (had issues with this on the vmxnet3 driver before) :

This bug happened in kernels from 2008 or so. IPv6 transmissions would get their MTU from the wrong interface, I think the loopback.

This one?

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/254622

I'm using the latest Centos Kernel (2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.i686), I'd hope a fix from 2008 would be included in that...

Tried reducing the MTU for lo but made no difference.

I'm two revisions newer with a kernel I compiled over a year ago... Doesn't sound that new.

TCP also has MSS, which looks correct, so that has to be your ethernet driver...

Solved...
Thanks for the suggestions.

Replaced the vNIC with an E1000 (instead of vmxnet3) and the problem disappears, so yes, it's the driver (or the underlying VMware implementation) that's at fault, not the TCP/IP stack.
