Resolved Issues
ID Customer tracking number Summary Found in version Resolved in version
44786 44597 (Support) The adapter does not always respect changes to UTC offset even if PTP Timescale and UTC offset are announced valid by the GM. 3.25.2 3.26.3
Known issues
ID Customer tracking number Summary Found in version
38911 Using NT_NetRxGet* or NT_NetRxGetMult* first time on newly created or reconfigured streams can lead to initial package drops when the system is configured with large hostbuffers or many client applications.
This will only be triggered on newly created and reconfigured streams.
Workaround:
If packet loss is observed, to get clean statistics no traffic should be received on connected ports while streams are being started.
3.7.4
38365 The performance of host based transmission may be degraded in the following scenario:
1. Local retransmit is taking place at full line rate on a subset of the ports of the adapter.
2. In parallel with 1., host based transmission is taking place on a separate port of the adapter (i.e. the combined host and local retransmit functionality is not used.)
3.7.1
36499 When using the GlobalSync feature, link down/up events causes the port to enter 'unknown' state 2.9.4
11368 When using a Cisco DAC pluggable, link is detected even if the other end of the cable is unplugged. 2.7.0
11366 Setting TimeSyncTimeJumpThreshold for OS timesync to values > 0, will enable the time jump feature and results in a jump threshold of 1 second. 2.6.0

Operating systems

The following operating systems are supported:

  • Windows Server 2022 (64-bit)
