[Spread-users] Spread Retransmission Help

I'd try longer runs with smaller bursts:

./spend -a 225.1.2.3 -b 10 -n 10000

If you keep seeing such high loss, then something seems to be wrong somewhere in your network.  It could be a bad NIC, bad cable, bad port on a switch, misconfigured or malfunctioning router or switch.  I'd try also try using point to point addresses and see if you have similar problems or not.  Try all pairs and see if you can narrow down where exactly the problem lies.  You can also try ping and see if you see similar problems.

Cheers!

Thanks for the quick replies.

I have tested using spsend and sprecv as suggested. What I have found is that the number of 'missed' varies each time I run the send. Sometimes it is 0; other times it is 90%. 

> spsend -a 225.1.2.3 -n 100
Checking (225.1.2.3, 4444). Each burst has 100 packets, 1024 bytes each with 10 msec delay in between, for a total of 100 packets
total time is (0,31000), with 0 problems

> sprecv -a 225.1.2.3 -d
-------
--> count is 30, i is 28, missed 2 total missed 2, corrupt 0
--> count is 73, i is 39, missed 34 total missed 36, corrupt 0
--> count is 94, i is 82, missed 12 total missed 48, corrupt 0
-------
Report: total packets 100, total missed 48, total corrupted 0

Thanks

Given that subnet mask, that is the proper broadcast address.  If this network is more complicated than a single switch or router, then it might be that broadcast is turned off or not working for parts of it.  You could also try using a multicast address rather than the broadcast address to see if that works better.

Are you sure there are no firewalls interfering with any of the ports (14803 UDP and 14804 UDP)?  

As Yair suggested you could build and use the spsend and sprecv programs to try to find why your loss is so significant.

Cheers!

I thought this too so I verified the broadcast address using the IP and subnet mask. Subnet Mask=255.255.254.0 for all servers. Looking online, 10.151.141.255 is the network broadcast address for this subnet. Have I misunderstood something in the setup?

Thanks

I think your network addresses are wrong.

Your segment broadcast address is 10.151.141.255 while your machines are sitting in the 10.151.140 network.  That probably isn't right, so your segment address probably isn't working at all and Spread is working hard to overcome that.

Cheers!

Hi,

Whilst looking at the spread logs; I noticed verion high retans numbers. Is this expected or does it suggest I have a problem? If the latter; how would you suggest I could go about indentifying what the problem could be?
