but first, you're measuring with tcp on a 5y+ kernel over a ~5000km tunnel?

sorry but really that's all what i can do with the info i got... some even
more questions...
and maybe, afterwards, i still will have some even more questions...

could i ask you kindly to check all the below things please?

my first guess is that you're hitting the software forwarder's limits?
do you have excessive packets on eth0?
then, are the dataplane programmed properly?
are the table entries in place and consistent with the polka sho outputs?
if not that then do we still have jumbos in the lab?

that's the answer: dunno yet... please help me collect the info!
thx,
cs

Hi All,

To explain to you some odd results that I got in my tests with PolKA in the
P4LAB using iperf3.

Via the longest path (AMS0001--POZ0001--BUD00001--FRA0001), when I send flows
from the DTN1 to DTN2, the iperf3 shows off many packet losses by using the
PolKA tunnel.

Even though I look in the DTNs to see if they had a problem, I don't find
anything; nevertheless, when I use SR-MPLS, this problem disappears. So I
would like to ask if you could
help me sort out this problem?

One step in investigating the problem was regarding the packet's size;
however, I have tested different sizes, from 100 to 1400, and the problem
keeps happening.
