Questions
- Where is the main docker config (yaml file)?
- I see sysctl differences between the natest-arc servers and the na-arc servers. Here is a diff of /etc/sysctl.d/99-nrao.conf on natest-arc-1 and na-arc-5

< net.ipv4.tcp_low_latency = 1If I set net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps = 0 on na-arc-5, the wget download drops to nothing (--.-KB/s).
- If I set all the above sysctl options, execpt net.ipv4.tcp_timestamps, on all five na-arc nodes, wget download performance doesn't change. It is still about 32KB/s. Also I still zeeo ZeroWindow packets.
- Try rebooting VMs after making changes?
- I see ZeroWindow packets sent from na-arc-5 to nangas13 while downloading a file from nangas13 using wget. This is na-arc-5 telling nangas13 to wiat because its network buffer is full.
- Is this because of qdisc pfifo_fast? No. krowe changed eth0 to *qdisc fq_codel* and still seeing ZeroWait packets.
- Now that I have moved the rh_download to na-arc-1 and put httpd on na-arc-5 I no longer see ZeroWindow packets on na-arc-5. But I am seeing them on na-arc-1 which is where the rh_downloader is now. Is this because the rh_downloader is being stalled talking to something else like httpd and therefore telling nangas13 to wait?
- Why does almaportal use ens3 while almascience uses eth0?
- What if we move the rh-downloader container to a different node? In fact walk it through all five nodes and test.
- Why do I see cv-6509 when tracerouting from na-arc-5 to nangas13 but not on natest-arc-1

- Why does natest-arc-3 have ens3 instead of eth0 and why is its speed 100Mb/s?
- virsh domiflist natest-arc-3 shows the Model as rtl8139 instead of virtio
- When I run ethtool eth0 on nar-arc-{1..5} natest-arc-{1..2} as root, the result is just Link detected: yes instead of the full report with speed while na-arc-3 shows 100Mb/s.
- Why do iperf tests from natest-arc-1 and natest-arc-2 to natest-arc-3 get about half the performance (0.5Gb/s) expected especially when the reverse tests get expected performance (0.9Gb/s).
- Is putting the production swarm nodes (na-arc-*) on the 10Gb/s network a good idea? Sure it makes a fast connection to cvsan but it adds one more hop to the nangas servers (e.g. na-arc-1 -> cv-nexus9k -> cv-nexus -> nangas11)
- When I connect to the container acralmaprod001.azurecr.io/offline-production/rh-download:2022.06.01.2022jun I get errors like unknown user 1009 I get the same errors on the natest-arc-1 container.
- Does it matter that the na-arc nodes are on 10.2.97.x, their VM host is on 10.2.99.x while the natest-arc nodes are on 10.2.96.x and their VM hosts (well 2 out of 3) are also on 10.2.96.x? Is this why I see cv-509.cv.nrao.edu when running traceroute from the na-arc nodes?
- When running wget --no-check-certificate http://na-arc-3.cv.nrao.edu:8088/dataPortal/member.uid___A001_X1358_Xd2.3C286_sci.spw31.cube.I.pbcor.fits I see traffic going through veth14ce034 on na-arc-3 but I can't find a container associated with that veth.
