Hi,
I saw yesterday that the CRS510 supports RoCE v2.
While preparing for the RoCE configuration, I noticed that I have a lot of retransmissions.
Here's an iperf run via the switch and one direct connected.
The MTU is 1500 on the switch and 9000 on the direct connection.

The cabling is done entirely with Oracle QSFP28 DACs.
I've already swapped the cables and ports on both CX-5 cards, and the results are unchanged.

Since there are only tx drops, I assume it's a configuration issue.
Here the RDMA settings that are configured
Since this is my first post, I can't upload my config.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

Hi, please show us your Switch/QoS/Port PFC page. An example:
You may lower PFC Pause Threshold to trigger PFC pause frames sooner. The following example sets it to 70%:
A quote from the documentation:
When choosing pause and resume thresholds, consider a delay in transmitting a PFC frame and processing it by the other side. For example, device A experienced congestion at time T, transmitted a PFC pause frame to device B, and B processed the frame and halted transmission at time T+D. During the delta time D, device B still kept sending traffic. If device A has configured the pause threshold to 100%, it has no free buffers available, and, therefore, packets may drop, which is unacceptable for lossless traffic classes. Lowering the pause threshold, let's say, down to 80% issues a PFC pause frame while still having free memory to accumulate traffic during the delta time D. The same applies to resume threshold. Setting it to 0% keeps the device idle during the delta time, lowering the overall throughput.

Hi,
sorry for my late reply, I wanted to be a bit more prepared and tried to understand the topic a bit better, which didn't necessarily worked out.
Here is my config before the adjustments suggested by @raimondsp

After the changes from the Mikrotik documentation it already looked like this
But I have adjusted it as you suggested and also changed the QoS profile to roce, but it is getting worse rather than better.
The ports were previously set to default because I thought the switch would automatically detect the traffic and apply the QoS profile accordingly.
I can only post one picture because the account is still new

This doesn't improve the iperf results though. Is the switch that slow, or is it my configuration?
At 90% performance compared to directly without a switch, I wouldn't say anything, but this are just good results for a 25Gb port…
Traffic goes via queue 1 by default. You can check Tx/Drop per-queue stats on the QoS / Port / Stats page.
You need to set DSCP=28 in the packets to map them to queue 3. Add -S 0x70 to the iperf3 command line. You can also try 0x71 to mark packets ECN-capable, but I'm unsure if iperf can handle congestion notifications.

Traffic is still going through Queue 1.
I tested the ports once with default profile and once with roce profile, makes no difference.
What do you think about the fact that it is always around 25Gb?
It looks like the switch is only using one of the four channels.

I noticed the ethtool reports the BR Nominal value of 25G:
BR Nominal : 25500Mbps
This is also strange:
Transmitter technology : 0xa0 (Copper cable, unequalized)
Try setting advertise=100G-baseCR4 (remove the LR4 option) and see if that helps.
Also check for other differences in ethtool output when changing from direct connection to the switch.

I removed the LR4 option and tried all FEC modes and set rate select to low, link is always stable, but always only 25Gb.
The output of ethtool is identical for both ports.
No idea, I've never had anything like that before, ethtool shows that four channels are being used, but the performance is always 25Gb even with MTU 9000, coincidence?
But the Tx drops are a different topic, they have nothing to do with the cable in my opinion.
What do you think, new cables?
