Hi there We have running WinXP guests on kvm84 and did some network performance tests: I started iometer on the WinXP Guest and connected a dynamo running on a debian etch physical machine. The results don't really make me happy: Sending data into the Guest runs quite well at about 75 MB/s with virtio and 70 MB/s with e1000 Receiving data from the Guest is much slower: 17 MB/s with virtio and 11 MB/s with e1000 Tested with 1k Block. With the e1000 my system load jumped up to 100% while sending or receiving data. :-/ Does anyone have hints how to debug this issue? Any configuration hints to get all this faster? I also tested writing data onto a samba share which gave me about 5 MB/s. :-/ Regards Sebastian Ries -- ------------------------------------------------------------ DT Netsolution GmbH - Talaeckerstr. 30 - D-70437 Stuttgart Tel: +49-711-849910-36 Fax: +49-711-849910-936 WEB: http://www.dtnet.de/ email: Sebastian.Ries@xxxxxxxx -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kvm" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
