Hello forum,
my wired connection (Ethernet) is sometimes mysteriously giving up. The hardware is all fine (I checked ethernet port, cables, switch, router). I found this mysterious traffic control qdisc:
> sudo tc qdisc show
qdisc fq_codel 0: dev enp1s0 root refcnt 2 limit 10240p flows 1024 quantum 1514 target 5ms interval 100ms memory_limit 32Mb ecn drop_batch 64
NetworkManager might do it, though it would be strange for it to configure a limit by default. To date my Ethernet NetworkManager connection didn’t have a qdisc configured:
> nmcli connection show Ethernet | grep tc.qdiscs
(no output)
I have now configured a qdisc in NetworkManager per RedHat docs:
> nmcli connection modify Ethernet tc.qdiscs ‘root pfifo_fast’
While this is indeed applied successfully (as tc qdisc show shows), I yet have to see if the connection drops gone for good.
Still, where is the default limited qdisc coming from?
Happy hacking!
