Hello,
We use the Network API in our macOS ObjectiveC applications to create a small web server. With macOS Sequoia or Tahoe (not with Sonoma), downloading files from another computer using the built-in ethernet port is way too slow.
Steps to reproduce:
Computer A (using macOS Tahoe or Sonoma), run an application using the Network APIs to create a webserver
Make sure that this computer connects to the network using the Ethernet port, there is no issue when using WiFi
On computer B, make an HTTP request to download a 20MB file => it will take about 30 seconds to download => way too slow...
We tested with:
if on computer A you run a web server using the GCD API instead of Network, it takes 0.2 seconds to download the file => no issue
on computer A disable TSO, it improves the results, but that's not a long term solution as it doesn't hold when rebooting
I can provide sample code to demonstrate this if needed.
This is a new issue as it's been a while we use that code, and only noticed it recently, and macOS Sonoma is not impacted.
Thank you for the help you can provide.
Pierre
