I'm doing non-blocking TCP sends, write sizes of around 64k, and I'm
doing this to/from the same system with the send-to-self patch.
I am running full-duplex (930+Mbps tx + rx on both ports)
(this is about 980Mbps on the wire).
If I don't set the tx-queue % rx-queue sizes large (~4MB), it does not
perform well when running through my latency emulator.
If I do set them, then it runs just fine (barring an occassional
TCP throughput deadlock & ACK storm that is being worked on separately.)
If it works for other people, then it could be something else
weird about my setup. I have an easy work-around (been in the
code for years and years now), so I'm not too worried either way.
Thanks,
Ben
