Jumbo Frames for LS1028A

I'm using the Board LS1028ARDB for evaluating the Layerscape processor with Linux kernel 4.14.47 and interested in Network/USB3 performace. For the USB3 performance I'm using the gadget devices massstorage and RNDIS.

For the RNDIS device I'm reaching transfer rates up to 500 MBit/s which is not as good as I expected.

Is there a possibility to increase the MTU size > 1500?

Is the processor supporting JUMBO frames?

Thanks and best regards

As I've already written I'm using the RNDIS gadget. This means there is no Ethernet Phy because of using USB3 interface while the Ethernet device is emulated.

Therefore I think this is a processor specific thing.

For a Xilinx Ultrascale+ MPSoC I had the same issue and fixed it with following patch https://xilinx-wiki.atlassian.net/wiki/download/attachments/18841729/0001-Change-bMaxBurst-and-qlen-... 

wich is described in https://xilinx-wiki.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/A/pages/18841729/Zynq+Ultrascale+MPSOC+Linux+USB+devic...

part "Ethernet Gadget".

This have not been worked for the NXP LS1028A device because of different hardware.

Is there a possibility to speed up the RNDIS performance for the NXP LS1028A controller?

MTU is a characteristic of a network interface, not a processor. Since you are
using externally connected network interfaces, you should consult at
the documentation of those peripherals and their respective drivers
for supported MTU.


Have a great day,
