Intel VT-d and KVM

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

Am using Fedora 12 2.6.32.10-90.fc12.i686 on both host and guest. I
see that the packets destined for a particular port (iperf/5001 if
that matters) in guest can be captured using "tcpdump" on host whereas
the reverse is not true i.e I run iperf server on host and tcpdump on
guest can not read the packets sent to host. Is this expected behavior
?

I have enabled VT-d (through intel_iommu=on) and so was thinking that
guest will read the packets directly. If this is true, then wonder how
tcpdump on host can read guest packets ? or is my understanding wrong
? Please clarify.

Further, any pointer to doc on how IO virtualization is implemented in
KVM will be useful.

Thanks,
Nirmal
