Hi All

I am new to drbd performance turning and I have been study (R0).
Aso I am browsing others effort in drbd-user archive (R1).
I was able to get 350MB/s rsync rate (R2) for two Centos 7.2 VMs(A and B)
when they are on same LAN with turning from (R1) thread.

My goal is to have C Centos 7.2 VM paired with A VM that go over a fast
 WAN pipe(R3). but when I reuse B's drbd config and change the IP info. The
rsync rate back to 30-40M rsync rate(See R4).

I tried the jumbo frame turning to raise MTU from 1500 to 8000(RH Support
article recommend 8000, not 9000). But this change on VM A and C doesn't
not improve rsync rate.


Does networking team  need do any change on their swith/router  for drbd
case ?
