<p>I do not know where to look to have Lnet performing faster. I am running my ib0 interface in connected mode with 65520 MTU size.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Any hint will be much appreciated<o:p></o:p></p>

<pre>I would suggest you a few other tests to help isolate where the issue might be. <o:p></o:p></pre>

<pre>1. What is the single thread "DD" write speed?<o:p></o:p></pre>

<pre>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. <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>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?<o:p></o:p></pre>

<pre>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. <o:p></o:p></pre>
