Yes, measuring streaming bandwidth probably does not make sense yet, as I do not have GSO, and I do not have VM exit mitigation. But RSN. Meanwhile udp_rr does not need any of these, so I checked that and numbers look like what you'd expect. My systems seem slower than yours, but the virtualization overhead is same: around 20us (sometimes it's a bit higher, up to 25us). host to host: [root@virtlab18 netperf-2.4.5]# ~mst/netperf-2.4.5/bin/netperf -H 20.1.50.1 -t +udp_rr UDP REQUEST/RESPONSE TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 20.1.50.1 +(20.1.50.1) port 0 AF_INET Local /Remote Socket Size Request Resp.
