RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 15 ybendito 2019-07-23 09:39:18 UTC 
Do you have a technical ability to test performance on external link > 10 Gbps?
If yes, do you have a test results on such setup?

we have two 40Gb cards but no results, what's speed result do you need with 160 and 162.
Comment 17 ybendito 2019-07-24 07:21:17 UTC 
We'd like to have 3 tests on 40 Gbps link:
1) 160 as is,
2) 160 with speed=40000 (40,000 )
3) 160 with speed=100000 (100,000)
Is it possible?

yes, it's possible, what's comparison do you want, 1 vs 2 and 1 vs 3 ?

Yes, for example

In 40Gb network, we still could see the degradation with speed=40000 and speed=100000([1][2]) compared with default setting and performance with speed=40000 is better than speed=10000([3]). 

1. 160 vs 160 with speed=40000 (40,000)
