Working stable, DS1515+ (avaton) with RTL8156B (Disable jumbo frames) #416

Description of the problem

The initial setting of iperf3 can only run for 200 seconds before it stops working.

I tried the following:

  1. Change the USB port that is inserted. There are 4 USB3.0 ports on the back of DS1515+, but not on the front. Only ports 2 and 3 can run for about 200 seconds, and the other ports will crash faster. The speed of iperf3 on port 1 is only 1.3Gbps.

  2. Use a dual-powered USB interface, but it doesn't work. It even crashes faster.
  3. Remove the USB network card shell and stick a heat sink on the chip. It has a little effect, which extends the crash time by about ten seconds.
  4. I removed the dual-powered USB extension cable because it was useless. Then replace it with a better network cable, still CAT5E cable. The speed of iperf3 has increased, from less than 1.8Gbps at the beginning to 2.37Gbps, but it still crashes.
  5. After turning off jumbo frames on the middle switch, ports 1 and 4 still crash for a short time. But if connected to USB ports 2 and 3 will run stably. iperf3 reports a stable speed of 2.37Gbps. It has been running stably for an hour.

Summary: I am not sure which specific steps solved this problem. I hope it will be helpful to you.

Update: use iperf3 --bidir do test still unstable, after 200 seconds it stops working. without --bidir can stable working.
