 Posted: Sun Oct 27, 2013 2:23 pm Post subject: Bridge interface dropping tons of RX packets |
 |
|
My Gentoo-router is dropping tons of packets on bridged interface. I've made a bridge between a pci-e wlan card (ath9k) and intel a210i eth nic (igb). In dnsmasq.conf I have 'interface=br0'. My network is working 100%, but the amount of dropped packets is bothering me and I have no idea how to troubleshoot this. I've tried dropwatch but the output isn't human-readable (not for me at least  )
enp6s0 (wan) --> br0(lan)
brctl show:
| Code: | bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces
br0 8000.002590d4dffe no enp5s0
wlp1s0 |
ifconfig (this is ~2 minutes after net.br0 reset):
| Code: | br0: flags=4419<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,PROMISC,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255
ether 00:25:90:d4:df:fe txqueuelen 0 (Ethernet)
RX packets 298931 bytes 21632823 (20.6 MiB)
RX errors 0 dropped 97 overruns 0 frame 0
TX packets 275135 bytes 753928146 (719.0 MiB)
TX errors 0 dropped 0 overruns 0 carrier 0 collisions 0 |
/etc/conf.d/net:
| Code: | config_enp5s0="null"
config_enp6s0="dhcp"
config_wlp1s0="null"
modules_wlp1s0="!iwconfig !wpa_supplicant"
bridge_br0="enp5s0"
config_br0="192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
depend_br0() {
need net.wlp1s0

A little update. I removed the bridge and routed to enp5s0 and wlp1s0 directly. There were no dropped packets. There's something wrong with my kernel or bridge-utils I think
