https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217362
Bug ID: 217362
Summary: Low performance on Realtek RTL8125 2.5Gb NIC using
r8169 driver
Product: Networking
Version: 2.5
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: Other
Assignee: stephen@networkplumber.org
Reporter: jon780@gmail.com
Regression: No
Poor performance on receive-side only when using RTL8125 NIC with the in-tree
r8169 driver. The performance problems occur only in the receive direction. If
I reverse the sender I can get the full 2.5Gb (2.35Gb+overhead) over the link.
From my client if I run iperf3 to other hosts on the same switch I see 2.5Gb in
both directions. The Realtek maintained driver (r8125) supposedly fixes the
issue from what I've read but unfortunately I'm unable to compile it on my OS
(Rocky 8.7).
