usrp reporting different mtu's?

Hi,

In my UHD logs I see:

[DEBUG] [MPMD] Path MTU for address 10.20.101.1: 1500

[DEBUG] [MPMD] Path MTU for address 10.20.102.1: 8016

But "ip addr" shows that the mtu is 9000 on both 10 gbe  interfaces on the
the host and the usrp.

This is point-to-point connected.

What else could be causing this?

Many thanks, Kevin

Hi Kevin,

we probe the path MTU, not read it from the NIC, so it's possible that
something along the way is restricting the MTU to your device 101.1. Maybe
the device itself has a different MTU setting.

Hi Martin,

Just for completeness in the mailing list, I found that rfnoc_image_builder was compiling an HG image for the N300 even with XG requested.

Hard-coding XG options for HG as a workaround has fixed this problem.

Kind regards, Kevin
