--:--:-- 24.3M Well, that sure is a confusing pattern. Looks like tcp_notsent_lowat is the biggest culprit... except for the outlier where it seems ok with both custom notsent_lowat and custom congestion control.

I have a vague theory why tcp_notsent_lowat might be bad for pasta but not --network=host. I'm far from certain about it though, and I don't have a good idea what change on the pasta side might have changed. Actually, is it just pasta that's changed in that time? Or could it be a new kernel version or something else? I'm having some trouble wrapping my head around what tcp_notsent_lowat does, but I _think_ the upshot of it will be to make the socket send path more "bursty": we'll fill the socket send buffer (which could be very large), then stop. We won't wake up again to refill until the amount in the socket buffer drops below tcp_notsend_lowat. Assuming we've been getting plenty of data from the other side, we'll then refill the buffer very quickly. Less wakups sounds like a good thing in the abstract, but I'm wondering if this burstiness is messing with the flow control on the other side, causing the guest side peer to slow down to nothing. If that is the case, it would make sense that it gets even worse with large socket buffer sizes, since that would make the "bursts" even bigger. Likewise I was wondering if having different congestion control algorithms on each side might somehow conflict causing a slowdown. I don't think the data you have above really suggest that though. > I also find it quite interesting that setting any of the sysctls > individually or in pairs improves the upload speeds, but setting all 3 > at once slows it down drastically. I'm curious about the case with default congestion control, but custom lowat and mem_max. I think that one's missing from the table above. > I bisected a kernel a few weeks ago, > so I can try that here if you think that this is a kernel bug and not a > pasta bug.

pasta slow at HTTP upload
by Max Chernoff 12 Nov '25

12 Nov '25

Hi, For the past few months, I've noticed that my HTTP uploads from containers are really slow. Reproduction: $ cd "$(mktemp -d)" $ head --bytes=100M /dev/urandom > test.bin $ tar cf ./test.tar.gz ./test.bin $ chmod -R a+rx . $ curl --output /dev/null --progress-meter --form file=@./test.tar.gz "https://www.ctan.org/submit/validate" % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 100M 0 345 100 100M 69 20.0M 0:00:04 0:00:04 --:--:-- 23.9M $ podman run --rm --pull=newer --volume="$(realpath .):/srv/:Z" --workdir=/srv/ --network=pasta quay.io/fedora/fedora-minimal curl --output /dev/null --progress-meter --form file=@./test.tar.gz "https://www.ctan.org/submit/validate" % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 6 100M 0 0 6 6912k 0 9517 3:03:39 0:12:23 2:51:16 0 (Stopped after 10 minutes since I got sick of waiting) $ podman run --rm --pull=newer --volume="$(realpath .):/srv/:Z" --workdir=/srv/ --network=host quay.io/fedora/fedora-minimal curl --output /dev/null --progress-meter --form file=@./test.tar.gz "https://www.ctan.org/submit/validate" % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 100M 0 345 100 100M 64 18.7M 0:00:05 0:00:05 --:--:-- 23.8M Some comments about the above: - "www.ctan.org" is a web server running Apache; it isn't my server, but it's where I first noticed this issue, and I have permission from its owners to use it for testing. - The upload speed is constant on the host and with --network=host, but with --network=pasta, it starts high-ish, but quickly and continuously decreases. But the "bytes transferred" number keeps increasing, so the upload hasn't stalled out completely. - I've also had problems with uploads to GitHub from a custom Go binary---it takes ~3 minutes to upload ~600MB, split across 5 files, which is much slower than I would expect, but still faster than the curl/CTAN upload speeds. So I don't think that this is a bug with curl or this specific web server. - The host that I ran this from is a VM in a datacenter, supposedly with a symmetrical 1Gb/s connection. Pinging github.com shows an RTT of 2ms, and pinging www.ctan.org shows an RTT of 100ms. - This problem seems to have started a few months ago. I don't have an exact date (sorry), but it seems to have been fine before then. - The host is running Fedora 43 IoT on x86_64, and I'm using the following software versions: $ rpm --query --queryformat='%{NAME}\t%{VERSION}\n' passt podman containers-common netavark | sort | column --table containers-common 0.64.2 netavark 1.16.1 passt 0^20250919.g623dbf6 podman 5.6.2 I had the same issue when the host/containers were using Fedora 42. - The host has fairly little CPU/network load when I ran these tests, and pasta's CPU usage was low enough that it didn't show up on the first page of htop. Does anybody have any advice on troubleshooting this? I'm willing to test with other servers/commands, compile/test any patches, or provide any other information that might be helpful. Thanks, -- Max

port forward from guest to host- inquiry
by baleti 28 Oct '25

28 Oct '25

does anyone know if passt can port forward from guest to host? I'm trying to make a diod server available on the guest? on host I run a service listening on 9564: ~ $ diod --foreground --listen 0.0.0.0:9564 --export /home/user/autocad-ballet --no-auth is there a way for passt to make it available on the guest?
