Greetings;

Fixing the MTU at the host is only one part of the problem, recall that for MTU to work correctly, all things in the broadcast domain need to be configured in the same manner. 

It does not appear that the MTU settings for something in the network path are correct.  Using ping between one of the ESnet hosts and your hosts we can determine the settings that work, and those that don't.  E.g. this is the last size that works:

[rootjz@bost-pt1 ~]# ping -s 1464 -M do -c 4 14.139.5.202
PING 14.139.5.202 (14.139.5.202) 1464(1492) bytes of data.
1472 bytes from 14.139.5.202: icmp_seq=1 ttl=45 time=285 ms
1472 bytes from 14.139.5.202: icmp_seq=2 ttl=45 time=285 ms
1472 bytes from 14.139.5.202: icmp_seq=3 ttl=45 time=285 ms
1472 bytes from 14.139.5.202: icmp_seq=4 ttl=45 time=285 ms

--- 14.139.5.202 ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 3285ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 285.530/285.588/285.675/0.537 ms

And this is the first size (and larger) that doesn't:

[rootjz@bost-pt1 ~]# ping -s 1465 -M do -c 4 14.139.5.202
PING 14.139.5.202 (14.139.5.202) 1465(1493) bytes of data.
ping: local error: Message too long, mtu=1492
ping: local error: Message too long, mtu=1492
ping: local error: Message too long, mtu=1492
ping: local error: Message too long, mtu=1492

--- 14.139.5.202 ping statistics ---
4 packets transmitted, 0 received, +4 errors, 100% packet loss, time 4001ms

Something in the network path is only allowing MTU of 1492, therefore BWCTL (and probably a lot of other things) won't work.  Once this is fixed on the network, things will work again.

can you help me 


Hi,

What is the MTU setting on your host? I once saw these results when it was 9000 but the rest didn't support it.
