X310 problem with LLLLL

Hi everyone,
i am working with openairinterface, and i am experiencing a strange behavior with the X310 (branded USRP-2954R before flashing).When i run a code with a certain configuration file using a B210 everything works as expected, while when using an X310 i almost always end seeing a flood of LLL on the screen.That happens, for those who have familiarity with openairinterface, either running the gNB or the UE.

The X310 is flashed with the XG firmware using uhd 4.4 (but also with other 4.x versions happens the same) and connected to an Ubuntu 22.04 machine with an ethernet cable.
The USRP an the network interface are configured according to the Ettus guide https://kb.ettus.com/Getting_Started_with_4G_LTE_using_Eurecom_OpenAirInterface_(OAI)_on_the_USRP_2974

Though, with the uhd test utilities, like benchmark_rate, no issue appear.

Do you have any idea on how i could debug this situation?
Already asked the OpenAirInterface, but no reply yet.

thanks,
andrea

Well, 'L' is "late packet".  It's likely that the software is asking for
a packet time that is too "tight" given whatever latency is
  produced by your systems network stack.

OAI probably needs to investigate this.

Your CPU might not be powerful enough, or your system may not be
sufficiently performance-tuned, or the MTU value is not correct for your 10
Gbps Ethernet connections (you would want to use an MTU value of 8000 or
9000).  Also make sure that the two 10 Gbps Ethernet interfaces are
connected correctly with the right IP addresses between the host computer
and the radio.

Yes, I have also set the MTU=9000 and followed that guide, but didn't improve much. The CPU I am using is enough powerful i guess (an  i9-10980XE ), as the same sampling rate works with the B210.
About the network latency, do you have some reference figures about an X310? Measuring the latency in the most rough way that came up to my mind i measured a RTT of about 0.6 ms when the USRP is not transmitting/receiving nothing.
Is that a proper figure?

Thanks,
Andrea
