Dear KVM-List, I have a really strange network-issue and I'm running out of ideas how to track this down. I have two tap-devices on one bridge: bridge name bridge id STP enabled interfaces br0 8000.00e081c682e7 no eth0 vm0 vm1 Each of them are connected to a virtual machine with virtio. The machines are both running MS Windows Server 2008 R2 and are configured equally from the kvm-perspective. I can transfer data over the network from a windows-share in both directions with over 40 MB/sec. On one server, I have a noticeable latency over RDP. When I do a ping from this server, the first response comes immediately but there is a 11 seconds delay before the second ping is send on it's way! I know this sounds crazy but I've installed wireshark to track this down and the response for every ping comes immediately but there are huge pauses (about 11 seconds) between the pings are sent out. The CPU utilization is nearly zero and the disk-io is fast (raid10, lvm, virtio). Any help or ideas on that are appreciated, Andreas Piening-- 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
