Linux Network Performance Bottlenecks: In-Depth Analysis of skb Buffer Packet Loss

Linux Network Performance Bottlenecks: In-Depth Analysis of skb Buffer Packet Loss

In high-concurrency network scenarios, have you ever encountered confusion such as: “The network card is not fully utilized, yet throughput is bottlenecked” or “Ping occasionally drops packets, but packet captures show no anomalies”? If you are involved in Linux operations, you have likely stumbled upon these “mystical” pitfalls. The real culprit often lies within the … Read more

The Ultimate Guide to Latency and Packet Loss in Linux Operations

The Ultimate Guide to Latency and Packet Loss in Linux Operations

0. Introduction: Why You Need “Tools” Instead of “Common Commands” Sometimes, strange lags cling to the screen like fog: latency fluctuates, and packet loss appears intermittently, as if the business is being choked by an invisible hand. Don’t rush to blame the “network black hole,” and don’t immediately restart everything. Treat the system like an … Read more

Network Troubleshooting in Linux

The packet reception process of the Linux network card is as follows: The network card receives the data packet. The data packet is moved from the network card hardware buffer to the server memory (using DMA, without going through the CPU). A hardware interrupt notifies the CPU to process it. The CPU notifies the kernel … Read more

Detailed Explanation of Heartbeat, Packet Loss Retransmission, and Connection Timeout Mechanisms in the TCP/IP Protocol Stack

Detailed Explanation of Heartbeat, Packet Loss Retransmission, and Connection Timeout Mechanisms in the TCP/IP Protocol Stack

Recently, we encountered a project where the client’s network environment was unstable, leading to occasional packet loss and network jitter. This caused our software client to intermittently disconnect from the server, interrupting ongoing video conferences. This article takes this opportunity to explain in detail the heartbeat mechanism, packet loss retransmission mechanism, and other related content … Read more

Previously, an article analyzed the reasons for packet loss in bonded network interfaces and their solutions. This article will detail the root causes of packet loss in bonded network interfaces and dynamically analyze the kernel using the bpftrace tool. We will also use dropwatch to observe packet loss in the kernel: Packet loss occurs in … Read more

How to Analyze and Resolve Intermittent Packet Loss on Linux Servers?

How to Analyze and Resolve Intermittent Packet Loss on Linux Servers?

Packet loss refers to the situation where data packets are discarded during the transmission process due to various reasons before they reach the application program. The number of discarded packets divided by the total number of transmitted packets is what we commonly refer to as the packet loss rate. The packet loss rate is one … Read more
