Howto test and tune Gigabit Networking (1000M) - longsleep - 08-21-2016
Pine64+ and Pine64+2GB have a Gigabit NIC. To actually test the speed of the network interface a few things need to be considered. If you want to test the NIC performance of your Pine64, this thread is for you.
To do any meaningful testing, you need another device which is well known and capable to deliver over 900MBit/s with the cable and switch it is connected to. Also make sure that the network cable you use for the Pine64 is working with Gigabit Network (8 wires twisted pair, Cat5e or Cat6).
It is important to understand that you should test network speed only. If you copy a file to the Pine or something you are testing something completely different.
Furthermore it is important to know the settings of the whole stack involved and always use same / good settings. I added a platform-script at https://github.com/longsleep/build-pine64-image/blob/master/simpleimage/platform-scripts/pine64_tune_network.sh to help with that. Make sure to run this or similar before any testing.
- Make sure you use the latest Kernel. `uname -a`
Code:
root@pine64:~# uname -a
Linux pine64 3.10.102-3-pine64-longsleep #98 SMP PREEMPT Sat Aug 20 22:28:17 CEST 2016 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux- Use iperf3. Start it in server mode on your other host (iperf3 -s). iperf 3 exists for essentially all platforms as precompiled binary (https://iperf.fr/iperf-download.php).
- Install iperf3 on your Pine64. `sudo apt-get install iperf3`.
- Run iperf3 in client mode on Pine64 `iperf -c $OTHER_HOST_IP`
This can reach about 800 Mbits/sec

Hi there,
just made a short test with my actual environment again including the netwrok-script from longsleep with his actual kernel.
Code:
Switching the Pine64+ to a fixed GbE-port on my FritzBox 7490 acting as client:

So about 100 Mbits as expected with a 100Mb server, but 109 retries!
Same connection, but setting down the Pine64 to a fixed 100Mb port:

same speed with not a single retry!

BTW: Also use a fixed MAC-addr with the leading 00:06:dc numbers and disabled ipv6 and avahidaemon, if somebody still thinks this makes really a difference!
Still no improvement and i can confirm my Fritzbox (FritzOS 6.60, also actual version) is capable to handle GbE with some other PCs i'm using.

Yes this is what i expected. That is the board you sent me a couple of months ago yes? As it worked fine for my network it is something in your network / some incompatibility.
Btw, i got myself the cheapest gigabit switch i could find on Amazon to make the numbers from above: NETGEAR GS605-400PES (which is aroud 20EUR).

So my GbE is not too quick, but both are connected during this test via remote desktop. One is in the basement, connected to the Fritzbox (port with 1GbE), the Fritzbox to the switch (TP-Link, about 5m cable) and then with a very long cable (about 30m) to the 3rd floor in a D-Link DIR 645 router just acting as additional wifi router for the 3rd floor. The other PC is connected with a short 3m cable to the DIR-645. So this proves (at least from my point of view) even with this long and maybe not perfect connection, there is a GbE connection capable to handle at least 570 - 660 Mbits!
Using this connection (just plugging the cable from the Fritzbox from the pc to the Pine64+, this is what we get (Pine64 as server):

and now?Got similar results before even with connecting one PC and the pine directly via the FritzBox or the TP-Link switch or the DIR-645, so i can not imagine any other influence than the Pine itself!
As stated again will be very interested if someone figures out the real reason for those problems with the Pine64, but for me its just working with a fixed 100Mbs port and then its stable and reliable with about 95Mbits.
Have a nice evening all together!
BTW: Yes, its the board you tested some time ago.

Have ordered this switch today and will connect my Pine64+ with this switch and all of my GbE-PCs again (each separately and without any other ports active and new cables also). Will take some time (delivery till 24th), so will come back then...
Maybe we get this sorted

BUT: while i had to change my network config to give the pine and the desktop a fixed ip for the test, i got some errors during ethtool or ifup/ifdown, so it seems there is something messed up with my network config on the Pine. Could not yet figure it out, cause only chage i made was on
/etc/network/interfaces:
# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
# Include files from /etc/network/interfaces.d:
source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d
# Disable wlan1 by default (8723bs has two intefaces)
iface wlan1 inet manual
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
# mtu 1492
#iface eth0 inet static
# address 192.168.178.63
# netmask 255.255.255.0
# broadcast 192.168.178.255
# network 192.168.178.0
# mtu 1492
# gateway 192.168.178.1
For the switch as standalon i commented the dhcp-section and activated the fixed ip-part, same here in
/etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
## mtu 1492
#iface eth0 inet static
# address 192.168.178.63
# netmask 255.255.255.0
# broadcast 192.168.178.255
# network 192.168.178.0
# mtu 1492
# gateway 192.168.178.1
mtu 1492 is always disabled, that was something i tried earlier...With dhcp the interface eth0 is coming up and the Pine connects to the network.
With fixed address it boots (had to check with a monitor attached, normally it's headless), but the interface only comes up after logging in at the terminal and calling ifup eth0 as root. It gives a warning (didn't copy that unfortunately), but afterwards the eth-interface shows up (LEDs are blinking) and ifconfig shows a valid ip.
Will try again to use a brand new image from longsleep and repeat those tests. Maybe i messed up some configs by testing and trial-and-error in the beginning....
At least connected it again with my normal switch and it still gives about 400-500 mbits as client, but server is still poor. So its capable to do GbE, just need to sort out why only as client and fix the server part...
Will keep you posted.

OK guys, here to come my last results:
made a new sdcard with latest image from longsleep, attached fixed ip and mac-addr, updated to latest kernel and uboot, run all helper-scripts including network-tuning and just connected the pine and my desktop via 2 short cable to the new switch (same model longsleep mentioned). No other port connected, so only those two on 2 ports of the switch.
Speed for iperf3 as client again was good with max. 872mbits, about 650 mbits avarage, but server speed from the pine still is:

[ 4] 0.00-10.02 sec 503 KBytes 411 Kbits/sec receiver
The problems with connecting above were gone, just made only /etc/network/interfaces smaller (no definitions, only disabled wlan1) and attached a fixed 100 mbs speed full duplex via ethtool in the /etc/network/interfaces.d/eth0 file.
Booting works still fine, pine 64 reduces speed to 100mbs even on a 1000mbs port on my normal switch and works still ok with this fixed and reduced speed, but no GbE even with longsleeps switch and new basic image. So i'm running out of ideas and options here by myself and hope for any ideas?
Good evening
RE: Howto test and tune Gigabit Networking (1000M) - androsch - 08-25-2016
OK guys, here to come something for you all to think about:
Could not stop thinking about longsleeps success to have about full GbE speed with my board while i'm not capable to do this.
So i used my laptop to boot via my PXE-server and start a actual linux session with it, not Win10.

Here i could also use a iperf and an iperf3 server for the pine64 and connect as iperf and iperf3 client also. Something interesting:

Of course the pine also was set up as server in iperf resp. iperf3 mode (iperf[3] -s).So while longsleep also only checked my board with iperf only (see http://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=1084&pid=11838#pid11838), i wonder whether he assumed the 'good' speed it shows with iperf to be fine and didn't try iperf3? @longsleep: Can you remember?
So maybe this also is part of the problem, iperf shows perfect speed and iperf3 not!
Can not test the real speed other than via iperf(3), because of the PXE-server there is no real disk on the host to copy to with the Pine as server (PXE-server is only a 100mbs machine), but at least the file (1.2GB from a samba share on the pine) copied with about 10.5MB/s, so about 100mbits, thats at least full speed for the PXE-host...
Trying to copy 3 samba-share files from the Pine to an also GbE network drive had about 13MB/s speed, so more than 100mbs, writing them back to the pine only had about 200kb/s, seems also very slow, but the disc at the pine is a SD-card, so the speed of this samba file test mainly depends on the reading/writing speed of the card!
Maybe this also helps to figure something out? Maybe the problem is caused by Win10 as client/server also? Can anybody also try to check his speeds with iperf and iperf3?
