Thanks. A couple of things :
- the post is 5 years old - wonder if the platform handles this differently now.
- that sentence does not necessarily imply the hub is taking the radio down, just that the radio goes down when the hub is stressed. I am going to stick with my theory for now!
I did a quick search, did not find other posts as specific as that one, but did come across a post by staff stating that the hub is I/O bound, not CPU bound (makes sense).
However I am unaware of any user-accessible stats or perf counters that allow us to monitor I/O, either on the LAN or with the radio stacks.
