10 Gigabit Ethernet on a Raspberry Pi?!

Straight, the PCI gen 2 in theory maximum is 4GBps

I wish I had this much disposable income.

Hello, I had a Raspberry Pi 4 B 8 GB model, if I inserted a Cat 6 ethernet cable, it froze and hanged?!!! One mouse, keyboard and ssd drive occupied remaining ports. I am not using an original power adapter. What is the reason of this issue ?

I'd really love to know what top speed you get through this 10 GbE adapter on a raspberry pi 5 through pcie with dtparam=pciex1_gen=3, if possible please let me know!

You know you pretty much have to retry this one with the Raspberry Pi 5.

You should make a video on how to set up 10gbit because I just bought a Ugreen NAS and I’m not really sure what I need

Now you need to do that on the Raspberry Pi 5

If the PI can only handle 4GB, then a 5GB connection would be sufficient.
2.5GB and 5GB network are cheaper than 10GB

Stupid clickbait thumbnail..

I was considering a pi router. Then the idea of multi gigabit. I have a 1 gig fibre link, and a 5G connection that can do anywhere from 500mbit to 1 gigabit. I was thinking it would be nice to have a router capable of running speedify for bonding them together. My current router (edgerouter x) can only route about 950mbit of traffic. I need 2 gbit. Pi4 with 10G NIC seems to do that easily enough and I could use a router on a stick model.

hey jeff, switches are not routers.
the one you tried didn't "route" at full 10gig because it's only meant to do switching, which it does at full 10gig on all ports.

welp, you ever open a can of worms? better be on the bank or the shore. or the boat. with hooks on the lines. and pole in hand. you got your permits..? pack a lunch.

Did you by any chance test Samba or NFS speeds over this connection?

lol. Thank you.

Have you compared the read/write speed between CM4 with built-in storage and CM4 lite with NVMe ?

This is great if you consider putting storage outside of the PI!

A bit late, but - why not use fiber cabling as much as possible? Especially when you already have a ConnectX3 on hand. Or is that one of the NICs that doesn't play well with the Pi?
Incidentally, I have much the same networking gear as you. I'm using the mentioned Mikrotik CRS305, a ConnectX3 in my home computer and home server plus a QNAP TS-431X2, which comes with a SFP+ NIC. I haven't noticed any flakyness, but I'm also sticking to optical and DAC cabling.
Looking forward to your next networking video.

Hello Jeff how you can test the Rasp network packet speed ?
İ build a nas and want to be sure all connections are ok about network.
İm using gigabit switch and cat6 cables.I try to copy files from pc in network to rasberry nas with raid5 and rtfs files system on 6 drives.
Copy speed looks like 60 kbit/s

I don't get people's fan noise hatred... I literally have a server rack 3 feet from my bed, with no walls or enclosure between them. I like the fan noise, it hums me to sleep every night. Not kidding.

what do u think about running an LSI 9207 8i to run like an 8HDD Raid 6 or sum? even getting peak 400mb/s throughtput from the raid card to the bus seems acceptable.

~LOL, Jeff Geerling is "Rainman", and 10 Gigabit Ethernet is today's "Judge Wapner" !

Riser - when price trumps safety. I am so used to stripping and terminating plenum-rated cables that riser just feels all wrong.

Ok, I need to see this video of you building the rack and rewiring your house for Cat6a. I’ll be here when ready.

That was a lot of "then I bought this" just to get a video working.

Long Story Short :
This guy mess up his home with 10 Gigabit internet,
ended up only 3.2Gbs with his PI + custom network card.
And his parents or lover doesn't care.

Me, in the other hand, Wife keep asking if my PiHole server slowing down her Netflix show :/

Why would you even want to do this....

One guy you definitely don't want to be your project manager lol

Thank you for sharing this video. I wonder, if there exist other boards similar to Pi that could allow to connect ~20 Gbps worth of PCIe bandwidth?

I bought one of those mikrotik switches too, terrible device! Shortly after I found a Brocade ICX6610 on ebay for a steal and (1 fan mod to make it quieter later) never looked back.

You're insane. Get help

Use GPU and these kind of things on m.2 slot attach to the pi

All you wanted to was test 10gig Ethernet on a pi.. You ended completely rebuilding your laboratory and studio..

How about jetson Xavier agx Pcie 4.0 x16

Next time try to overclock pcie 2.0 to 3.0.

Didn't know the mikrotik was so flakey. Thanks for the heads up. STL FTW!!!

Wonderful STUFF!

Love your videos man, you always go the next mile when testing things

My first experience with high bandwidth networking was getting Infiniband working with old Mellanox cards between a few servers I got for a couple hundred each on e-bay.

That went so much better, and was significantly cheaper, than setting up 10GbE.

It amuses me greatly that the 40 gigabit 8 port switch was half the cost of the Mikrotik 4 port 10 gig.

Talk about escalation: wants to test a network card, ends up rewiring the whole house.

Seems like you could have gone direct connect to test the 10GbE NIC on the pi without much trouble. But I know the the desire to do it right and the excuse to upgrade.

Btw you face is look like my past teacher xD

I spend almost $2500 for 10GbE debugging task.
got MacMini 10GbE and 3900XT Custom PC

Jeff do you have a discord server I have a few questions about using a PI to open ports because my ISP has really bad web interface for port forwarding

This was informative
Also I believed to the end that you dropped the QNap.
Blinking great at the end *g*
Thx for the video, Jeff:)

I love the little in video text about cutting your pcie slot! (Coming from someone who's been too afraid to take the plunge and do it on my io board :))

the linux kernel is known to be slow for packet processing, I read some thing about kernel bypass or eBPF that could increase the throughput, but the level too high for me. but 350 mbps it is useful for many applications

Neat video. Short and to the point! If you went to the trouble of running the cat6 cable, since most of your gear supports sfp's, you should have run some single-mode fiber to your endpoints!!!

Maybe Mellanox ConnectX-3 are more capable. They are RDMA-compatible and very cheap. Don't know about driver support on Pi, though.
