Networking problem with Xtion
Hello,
I have Asus Xtion connected to one PC and rosmaster on other connected by local network, everything worked fine till couple of days ago, the frame rate of the Xtion on the rosmaster PC dropped from 30 fps to 1 fps for images and even lower for points. Does someone experience the same behaviour? Is is possible to debug it somehow.
Update:
Here is the output of rostopic hz
on the master PC:
master $ rostopic hz /xtion2/rgb/image_color
subscribed to [/xtion2/rgb/image_color]
average rate: 1.225
min: 0.816s max: 0.816s std dev: 0.00000s window: 2

here is the output of rostopic bw
on master PC:

slave $ rostopic bw /xtion2/rgb/image_color
subscribed to [/xtion2/rgb/image_color]

What is the output of
rostopic hz
androstopic bw
on both machines for your topics? Did anything change in your local network? WLAN, new Switches, Routers? Whats the connection speed of your network adapters?I have updated the question. I can see there is probably problem with the network.
