– DigitalOcean needs to replace vitro driver and enable Intel NIC –
To test this issue I created a couple of droplets in different locations.
I then installed iperf on all nodes.
Server:
iperf -s -f g
Client:
iperf -i 1 -t 30 -f g -c
ifconfig | grep media
media: Ethernet 10Gbase-T <full-duplex>
media: Ethernet 10Gbase-T <full-duplex>
Below are the results:
IPV4 Private
Interval Transfer Bandwidth
0.0-30.0 sec 3.18 GBytes 0.91 Gbits/sec
IPV4 Public
Interval Transfer Bandwidth
0.0-30.0 sec 0.44 GBytes 0.13 Gbits/sec
Notice the speed difference adding one hop to the outside, WAN address.
Observation tools used netstat, systat, systat -ifstat.
Standard configuration follows for reference:

Please open a ticket with our support team so they can investigate this and help you get it resolved.
Still this problem not solved yet!
I wonder did you ever get this resolved?
No I did not, but I got a lot of help from the DO engineering team. Just tell me if you want the answers i got from them and I will post it here :)

I’ve had all the same problems.
DO support told me that this was fixed in the ZFS version, but it absolutley wasn’t. I’ve had to go back to ubuntu now which is terrible as I’d much rather be running the low resource friendly freebsd.
