tcp socket speed 10Mbps only. How can I speed up?

Postby igotit » Sun Jan 01, 2017 8:49 am

Hi,
I measured the ESP32's tcp socket communication maximum throughput, the maximum speed I achieved is 10Mbit/sec only.

I hope that ESP32's tcp socket is more faster than 10Mbps.
above 10Mbps available in ESP32? If then, please help how can I speed up.


Testing Environment and testing procedures and codes

ESP32 module A : Wifi Station. 802.11.bgn supporting , TCP Socket Client. 240MHz CPU Clock.
ESP32 module B : WiFi Access Point.802.11.bgn supporting, TCP Socket Server.240MHz CPU Clock.
the photo can seen here : http://cfile24.uf.tistory.com/image/263 ... 598A18B56C
the distance between module A and B : 10cm.
module A is WiFi connected to moulde B and then Socket connecting to module B's Tcp Socket Server,
and then modul A send data continuously to module B.
and then I measured the time interval during 10Mbytes sending complete.
the measured time interval is 8~10sec per 10Mbytes sending complete.

module A's codes of sending data

Code: Select all

	uint8_t data_send[1000];
	while(1){
		rs = write(sock,data_send,1000); // 1kbyte sending.
		if(rs <0){
			printf("Send retv < 0");
		}
		else if(rs == 0){
			printf("Send retv = 0");
		}
		else if(rs>0)
		{
			count_send++;
			if(count_send == 10000){ // 10Mbytes((1kbyte * 10000)) sending 
				global_cnt++;
				printf("Sended bytes = 10 Mbytes, count=%d \n",global_cnt);
				count_send = 0;
				data_send[0] = (uint8_t)global_cnt;
			}
		}
	}

module B's codes of receiving data

Code: Select all

while(1){

   ssize_t sizeRead = read(clientSock, data_read, 1000);
   if(sizeRead < 0)
   {
    printf("error recv: %d %s", sizeRead, strerror(errno));
   }
   else if(sizeRead == 0)
   {
    printf("recv retv = 0");
   }  
   else if(sizeRead > 0)
   {
    accum_readbyte += sizeRead;
    if(accum_readbyte > 10000000) // 10Mbytes
    {
     global_cnt++;
     printf("Data Received 10 Mbytes. count=%d\n",global_cnt);
     accum_readbyte = 0;
    }
   }
  }

Hi,

interesting results. I'm facing similar problems, but worse, I can get only less than 1 Mbit/s.
My configuration is: only one esp32 module connected to the AP and the computer sending the data to the module (connected to same AP via cable).
Please, could you share all the example code to compare the configuration?

Best regards.

Hi All,

Any resolution on what speeds we can achieve on the esp32 wifi. I've also only achieved relatively slow speeds via TCP sockets. Anyone tried UDP?

Can we get an answer from espressif please - we intend to stream video which will require at least 20 Mbit/sec


Thanks

Some results from the tcp_perf program included in the IDF running on an Adafruit Huzzah ESP32 STA TCP test. Of course, you may get different results depending on your AP, network congestion on your network, etc.

TCP send from ESP32. 2-3 Mbits/s.

Hello dear,

I would like to see as you code work. It's possible to have your complete code?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Hello,
I am a beginner on esp32 with expirience on other architectures.
I would confirm that the achievable bandwith is below the expectations.
Below is a copy and past from server example on esp32 working as AccessPoint.
PC transmission is not the gate. LWIP implementation seem to be a code handover without architecture optimization.
Woule be interesting to know which values Espressif can achieve?
Tooling: they made a good job!
Performance: under expecatation!
Current consumption: for net 8Mbit/s too high
Errata: Puuhh, a lot of things are not working and the workarounds are more like decommitments, do not use or unpredictable result

Hi rcosta, I just used the offical example 'tcp_perf' in ESP-IDF SDK.Thanx!
