Latest Stretch-Devel Update -- Extremely Slow Network/Streaming Performance?

Forgot to edit my sources list to remove stretch-devel. A recent update took place while I was away on a business trip and upon returning saw a reboot prompt to install one of the development updates. After the reboot, the network/streaming performance is very, very bad.

Hi,

that’s a somewhat vague description of your issue like “my car is broken”. :wink:

So, could you give more details

  • What you’re doing when you find the performance issue?
  • With what measures/experiences you compare the current situation, so you think of a deteriorated performance?
  • As first troubleshooting have you ckecked [How To] Check Network Performance with iperf3, so you can isolate the issue to a general issue of the underlying network stack or it is more related to higher protocols like NFS, etc.?

I am also on latest Strech-Devel Update, but my network performance is intact. Iperf3 test: 940Mbits/sec in all directions

Interesting, I will do additional trouble shooting.

I would recommend doing an iperf3 test as @damir.matacin did.

Done. Will do additional testing.

Is this over Ethernet?
This is extremely slow – are you using powerline or something?

Sam

Powerline ethernet. I’m going to try switching out the adapters.

Switched out the adapter that was connected to the server and ran the test again (I should have tested the adapters first, I had a gut feeling). Sorry for the false alarm and thank you for the help team!

if you had gut feeling yet you went the other route…

Yes. The only variable that changed was the Vero 4K. Sometimes we opt for reason over intuition.
