Hi,
I'm running into an issue where the RTL8111/8168/8411 gigabit ethernet adapter is stuck at 700mbps transfer speeds, but will be able to hit 940-950mbps speeds as soon as the CPU is stressed to 100%. It is the same as this bug posted several years ago: https://superuser.com/questions/1428360/poor-network-throughput-but-double-under-high-cpu-load/1749982

Hi,
I'm running into an issue where the RTL8111/8168/8411 (rev 15) gigabit ethernet adapter is stuck at 700mbps transfer speeds, but will be able to hit 940-950mbps speeds as soon as the CPU is stressed to 100%. It is the same as this bug posted several years ago: https://superuser.com/questions/1428360/poor-network-throughput-but-double-under-high-cpu-load/1749982
Exact instructions to reproduce this bug:
on mini PC run: iperf3 -s -B <interface IP>
on client run: iperf3 -R -c miniPC.lan

I ran s-tui on the mini PC, enabled the stress test option, and saw all cores boosted to 2.90 GHz (max turbo on an Intel N5095). The ethernet speeds immediately jumped to gigabit wire speeds:

iperf3: interrupt - the client has terminated
I have tried both the r8169 and r8168 drivers on both 22.04 (kernel 5.15 and 5.19) and also on 22.10 (only kernel 5.19 tested). This issue remains on all combinations tested. When I tested using r8168 same issue showed up but speeds were constantly ~800mbps instead of 700mbps, but same thing - stress testing the cpu to 100% made it go to 940-950mbps instead.
I verified the driver being used by running the following:
