Netduma Staff Popular Post Netduma Cameron Posted January 10 Netduma Staff Popular Post Share Posted January 10 Hi, I'm one of the backend developers. This issue was causing small latency spikes of up to 4ms, caused by high CPU usage of the Data Usage Daemon (part of the Network Activity history feature). It's been fixed and now has 0-1% CPU usage all the time. This is coming to the next firmware, most likely next week. If you're interested in the technical details, the issue was caused by an unneeded system call causing malloc/free for every flow measured. Thank you for buying the Netduma R3 early!

Fairypusher Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Thank you for your work. But is this the Call: daemon.err odhcp6c[4865]: Failed to send SOLICIT message to ff02::1:2 (Cannot assign requested address) I have the log full of this or is it normal?

I believe this is DHCP requesting an IPv6 address and not getting one. This is not concerning as long as you can connect to the internet. Your ISP most likely provides IPv4 only. If you would like support with anything, please create a new thread instead because I most likely will not be able to provide support quickly since I am developing. Thanks.

DARKNESS Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 @Netduma CameronSo as you work on the CPU section is there particular reason why CPU3 is mostly IDLE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will see alot of those in your logs like that if you have IPV6 disabled on your R3.. So in that type of scenario that is normal .. Hope that helps! Thanks! Zippy.

CPU3 is currently removed from the scheduler, so not running any user space code (i.e. rapps). It handles hardware interrupts that need low latency, for example from Wi-Fi and Ethernet devices. I've experimented with enabling it in user space but it will most likely need to be reserved to keep the connection as fast, reliable and stable as possible. Here's a screenshot of my CPU usage while i do a 1Gbit download, with CPU3 active: titofuenla, Zippy, DOGGAVELI and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DARKNESS Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 @Netduma CameronSo basically it a packet acceleration focused CPU like the XR1000 has...makes sense if it for stability I just thought that wouldn't have an effect if all CPU's were used to balance each other but I guess I am wrong on that end...

Can I please test this new firmware that corrects the CPU usage issue? I reported it on December 23rd, didnt know why specifically it was always at 80-100% but it was a clear indicator to me that issues pertained to that. I’m happy to provide feedback and test any specific changes to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this pertaining to cpu2 usage. On my R3 that's the cpu that's 80 to 100 percent usage all the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeWilde Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I've noticed 100% on CPU0 or CPU2 with next to nothing going on. This seems pretty much consistent. Not sure if this is related or being cause by PPPoE. emma787 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cljackhammer Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Has a hot fox been released for this issue? CPU utilization at 100% percent idle is very bad for a router. Particularly, a gaming router. I’m experiencing the same issue with no devices connected to the router except for my PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the CPU usage when you get the latency spike and see if it is similar. 18 hours ago, MikeWilde said: I've noticed 100% on CPU0 or CPU2 with next to nothing going on.

Hey so any update on this? It’s Saturday and nothing… my router needs to be restarted every few hours and its super annoying having to disable smart ping every time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Megatf Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 Also my router is also super hot all the time, its sitting on a normal surface. My CPU usage is always at 100% which is why I have to restart every few hours and Im just hoping this update rolls out before we start burning out our CPUs emma787 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also have to be directly connected to the R3 WiFi. By super hot how do you mean? There is plenty of ventilation, is there a lot around it? You don't need to restart it, the CPU will drop, it won't run all the time that high, it will fluctuate. Update will be next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Update will be next week It’s pretty consistently at 100%, 15+ seconds of high usage then 15 seconds of low. Sure, thats some fluctuation but the rest of the CPUs stay under 10%. Only my cellphone is connected to the device. My R3 is elevated, sitting on the cardboard box it came with. If I put my hand on the top of it, its hotter than my PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
