We are connecting our accel machine (accel-ppp-1.10.3), deployed on an ubuntu VM (16.04), to a rp-client setup on another server. The link between the two servers is 10G and we have verified it by running iperf.
When we establish the PPPoE connection between rp-client and Accel the bandwidth decreases to 2 Gbps. Even if we increase the bandwidth assigned to a client or increase the number of clients, the total bandwidth on the link does not increase more than 2 Gbps. What could be the problem for this bandwidth issue using pppoe protocol?
Cannot achieve maximum bandwidth on link.
Re: Cannot achieve maximum bandwidth on link.
Hi, do you use RPS, RFS, balance irq?
Re: Cannot achieve maximum bandwidth on link.
No we are not using RPS, RFS or balance IRQ. This should not be a problem when using a single client for generating traffic.
We also increased the size of the interface queue from 3 to 1,000 to no effect.

Re: Cannot achieve maximum bandwidth on link.
Ok, please show "top" and ethtool -S eth1 on bandwidth test.
ps:// change eth1 to used network interface

Re: Cannot achieve maximum bandwidth on link.
'ethtool -S ppp0' is not detecting the interface made through pppoe connection.
Re: Cannot achieve maximum bandwidth on link.
Is there a limit of PPPoE protocol at 1Gbps bandwidth?
Re: Cannot achieve maximum bandwidth on link.
unlikely, there is no any limits
