A slow parallel HTTP transfer of a large tar file between two machines ubuntu 20.04 server

de flag

I have 2 servers Ubuntu 20.04 server, running a service to transfer large tar files via HTTP (5 parallel) between server A to server B. Transfer rates sometimes dropped from x GiB/s to x MiB/s and a reboot was necessary to restore normal operation.

The network bandwidth is 25 GiB/s.

Normal State after reboot :

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
