I haven't seen any messages logged, and retransmission is similar to non-mq case. Device also has no errors/dropped packets. Anything else I should look for? On the host: # ifconfig vnet0 vnet0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 9A:9D:99:E1:CA:CE inet6 addr: fe80::989d:99ff:fee1:cace/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:5090371 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:5054616 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:65 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:500 RX bytes:237793761392 (221.4 GiB) TX bytes:333630070 (318.1 MiB) # netstat -s |grep -i retrans 1310 segments retransmited 35 times recovered from packet loss due to fast retransmit 1 timeouts after reno fast retransmit 41 fast retransmits 1236 retransmits in slow start So retranmissions are 0.025% of total packets received from the guest.
