Sending via UDP is severely limited. Buffer lengths must be kept below the maximum allowed (<64KB) or they will not be sent. It also seems to be limited to ~1Mbps/thread (excluding the first set of packets which always register ~1.25Mbps). Running with 64 threads leads to a steady state of only ~65Mbps aggregate. | Sending via UDP is severely limited.

Sending data via iperf3 to ejfat-fs-daq cannot seem to go faster than ~4Gbps. Same results for 1 thread and 8 threads:

Setting the window size higher does get faster rate. Note that if I set it higher than 416K it will return an error that the window size is not set correctly.

The default buffer length is 128k and the maximum size it allows you to set to is 1024k. This with the maximum window width gives the fastest rate of ~20Gbps. Note that THIS IS THAT SAME WHEN RUNNING THE CLIENT ON EJFAT-2!.

I am able to get faster transfer speeds using iperf (=iperf2) than I can with iperf3. Running this command on ejfat-2 gives full bandwidth (up to 99Gbps). Running on clonfarm21 though only gets up to around 50Gbps. Note that I edited out individual thread lines from the following for brevity.

Increasing the number of threads and playing with the window and buffer sizes gets up to around 75Gbps (avg)

UDP
Sending via UDP is severely limited. Buffer lengths must be kept below the maximum allowed (<64KB) or they will not be sent. It also seems to be limited to ~1Mbps/thread (excluding the first set of packets which always register ~1.25Mbps). Running with 64 threads leads to a steady state of only ~65Mbps aggregate.
