</p>
so looks like Lnet is really under performing going at least half and less than InfiniBand capabilities.<br>
How can I find out what is causing this ?
<p>running perf tools tests with infiniband tools I have good results:</p>

<pre wrap="">I would suggest you a few other tests to help isolate where the issue might be.
1. What is the single thread "DD" write speed?
2. Lnet_selfttest: Please see " Chapter 28. Testing Lustre Network Performance (LNet Self-Test)" in the Lustre manual if this is a new test for you.
This will help show how much Lnet bandwith you have from your single client. There are tunable in the lnet later that can affect things. Which QRD HCA are you using?
3. OBDFilter_survey : Please see " 29.3. Testing OST Performance (obdfilter-survey)" in the Lustre manual. This test will help demonstrate what the backed NVMe/ZFS setup can do at the OBD layer in Lustre.
Thanks,
Keith

<pre wrap="">yes the data transfer is on ib0 interface and I did a memory to memory
test through InfiniBand QDR resulting in 3.7GB/sec.
tcp is used to connect to the MDS. It is tcp5 to differentiate it from
my other many Lustre clusters. I could have called it tcp but it does
not make any difference performance wise.
I ran the test from one single node yes, I ran the same test also
locally on a zpool identical to the one on the Lustre OSS.
Ihave 4 identical servers each of them with the aame nvme disks:
server1: OSS - OST1 Lustre/ZFS raidz1
server2: OSS - OST2 Lustre/ZFS raidz1
server3: local ZFS raidz1
server4: Lustre client
