Hello,

We use LWIP protocol for network communication at present, we find that the delay of our PC ping MPC5748 is higher than 1ms, and the maximum value is 8ms. As a result, the speed of TCP transmission through Ethernet can only be limited to 500KB/s. PHY chip is KSZ8081, the circuit is from the DEVKIT-MPC5748G development board.

#endif /* LWIP_IPV6 */
LWIP_ASSERT("s >= 0", s >= 0);

/* connect */
ret = lwip_connect(s, (struct sockaddr*)&addr, sizeof(addr));
/* should succeed */
LWIP_ASSERT("ret == 0", ret == 0);

/* write something */ 
while(1)
{

ret = lwip_write(s, "test", 4);
LWIP_ASSERT("ret == 4", ret == 4);
}

/* close */
ret = lwip_close(s);
LWIP_ASSERT("ret == 0", ret == 0);

return; 
}

 

 

the result is that:just 129kB/s.

pastedImage_1.png

ps:

1.our phy is 8081,and cpu is 5748G with model of RMII.

2.the dhcp and auto ip model is disable.

3.the tcp server run in the pc with the configuration of Ip:192.168.8.2 and port:21.

4.the tcp client run in the 5748G with the configuration of Ip:192.168.8.1.

Hello,

could you please describe the application you use for bandwidth measurement? From the figure I do not understand, what data are sent to microcontroller. If you want to measure bandwidth, I recommend you to use packets with maximal length 1500 bytes with UDP protocol on transport layer.

If you use TCP instead of UDP, there is some overhead because of Three-way handshake and acknowledgement.

But original question was related to ICMP protocol, which by default uses ICMP packets with 32 bytes data length, which are not suitable for bandwidth measurement.

So, could you please let me know, what the application measures and how can I interpret the results you posted?

Regards,

Martin

Hello,

     there's another strange phenomena that the bandwidth is affected by the Cpu core clock.

     The explicit test is implement like following:

    1. our  Oscillators  circurit is :

pastedImage_1.png

    2. our program is the same like:

  

while(1)
{

ret = lwip_write(s, buff,1024);
// LWIP_ASSERT("ret == 1024", ret == 1024);

if(ret < 0)
{
ret = lwip_close(s);
/* create the socket */
#if LWIP_IPV6
s = lwip_socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
#else /* LWIP_IPV6 */
s = lwip_socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
#endif /* LWIP_IPV6 */
LWIP_ASSERT("s >= 0", s >= 0);
/* connect */
ret = lwip_connect(s, &addr, sizeof(addr));
}
//sys_msleep(1);
}

  3.Different CPU core clock setting in PE like:

A:

pastedImage_2.png     

the bandwidth result is:

pastedImage_4.png

B:

pastedImage_3.png

the bandwidth result is:

pastedImage_7.png

so,the result is that: A is much higher then B.Can someone explane the reason for us.Thanks!

Hello,

     we use the only task of sending several bytes througth tcp protocol like this:

      *****************************************************************************

while(1)
{

ret = lwip_write(s, buff,1024);
// LWIP_ASSERT("ret == 1024", ret == 1024);

if(ret < 0)
{
ret = lwip_close(s);
/* create the socket */
#if LWIP_IPV6
s = lwip_socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
#else /* LWIP_IPV6 */
s = lwip_socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
#endif /* LWIP_IPV6 */
LWIP_ASSERT("s >= 0", s >= 0);
/* connect */
ret = lwip_connect(s, &addr, sizeof(addr));
}
//sys_msleep(1);
}

*****************************************************************************

actually,now the bandwidth can run up to about 4M Bytes/s. but that seemed to the highest speed,no matter how I could change the parameters in lwipopts.h.

Hello Hanson,

I checked the lwIP example project with my computer and I can see following values:

pastedImage_1.png

First time, there was 4ms delay, but in all other cases, there is average delay about 1-2ms, which seems to be correct. This delay is caused by the microcontroller, which must create and send ICMP reply packet and it is unrelated to transfer rate.

Delay caused by transfer the ICMP reply packet through the twisted pair cable is negligible. Main delay is cause by the microcontroller, during ICMP handling.

Also, this example is based on FreeRTOS and in case you run another tasks, 8ms delay is not high. From my point of view, example behavior is correct.

Please let me know, if you need any other information.

Regards,

Martin
