Troubleshooting Performance Issues

 

This

 

section

 

lists

 

some

 

components

 

to

 

check

 

for

 

peak

 

performance.

 

Cable

 

length/quality

:

 

Do

 

not

 

exceed

 

the

 

max

 

recommended

 

length

 

for

 

your

 

cable

 

type.

 

Use

 

shorter

 

lengths

 

where

 

possible

 

for

 

better

 

performance.

 

Check

 

both

 

ends

 

for

 

damaged

 

or

 

loose

 

connectors.

 

Check

 

cables

 

for

 

kinks

 

or

 

damaged

 

segments.

 

Bus

 

speed/traffic

:

 

the

 

PCI

 

bus

 

accommodates

 

the

 

slowest

 

PCI

 

card

 

installed.

 

Check

 

if

 

you

 

have

 

a

 

card

 

that

 

is

 

slowing

 

down

 

your

 

system.

 

Processor

 

and

 

memory

:

  

Check

 

your

 

performance

 

monitoring

 

programs

 

and

 

see

 

if

 

traffic

 

is

 

being

 

affected

 

by

 

your

 

processor

 

speed,

 

available

 

memory,

 

or

 

other

 

processes.

 

Transmission

 

frame

 

size

:

 

try

 

adjusting

 

or

 

maximizing

 

the

 

transmission

 

frame

 

size.

 

Note

 

that

 

OSes,

 

switches,

 

and

 

NICs

 

each

 

impose

 

different

 

limits

 

on

 

max

 

fame

 

size

 

(MTU).

 

Check

 

your

 

OS

 

documentation

 

for

 

Jumbo

 

frames

 

support.

 

Operating

 

System

:

 

Network

 

feature

 

implementations

 

(e.g.,

 

WOL,

 

Jumbo

 

frames,

 

segmentation)

 

vary

 

by

 

OS.

 

Known Issues 

Teaming

 ‐ 

Dynamic

 

Link

 

Aggregation

 

(802.3ad):

 

a

 

recent

 

Windows

 

update

 

apparently

 

broke

 

Teaming

 

with

 

numerous

 

Intel

 

NICs,

 

including

 

the

 

i210.

  

Try

 

re

installing

 

a

 

fresh

 

copy

 

of

 

Windows

 

10

 

with

 

the

 

latest

 

Intel

 

drivers.
