Re: [lwip-users] lwIP host PING dramatic speed decrease

[Funk, Artur]

I didn’t got a detailed datasheet quickly, so I don’t know about all possibilities  of this Chip.
Take a look if it’s possible to filer multicast/broadcast messages and try it to set a filter for this.

But be careful broadcast is essential for dhcp and arp so you eventually will need to set the MAC address

Of your board on pc manually. If it helps to increase the response time of ping, you have got the root of the problem.

But what can you do further? Do you use this micrel phy chip in DMA mode or SPI? If the phy is connected via spi, that will

Be surely the bottleneck, in DMA mode the chip should deliver the data quickly enough. Is your  controller/fpga is able to  handle all the data?

 

I hope it could help

 

Best regards

@Kieran Yes, I guessed that was the reason, but is there a way to filter the messages that I don't need? Mostly all of them are broadcasts for different services that are running on the network.

@Artur I am using a Micrel 8851SNL chip, which I am configuring for 100Mbits. I checked the cables, and the MAC is hopefully good initialized; the reason of my problem is the big number of broadcasts.

 

@All Is there a way to filter unwanted messages or discard them earlier in the stack?

 

Thank you in advance,

Kjel Snorre

It would be easier if you would tell us what kind of hardware you have
used. In the past I have had similar problem since my PHY was
initialized wrong (10Mbits Speed). It wasn't unobtrusive in a P2P
connection, but with a lot of traffic in our firm lan, the response time
was terrible. So far about my situation but it could be everything, bad
cable, wrong initialized MAC and so on...
