Sure thing! I've also re-ran it on a IBM server type host instead of my laptop. Here are the results: Vanilla kernel: MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 192.168.33.1 () port 0 AF_INET enable_enobufs failed: getprotobyname Recv Send Send Socket Socket Message Elapsed Size Size Size Time Throughput bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec 87380 16384 16384 10.00 7922.72 Patch 1, with threshold=16: MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 192.168.33.1 () port 0 AF_INET enable_enobufs failed: getprotobyname Recv Send Send Socket Socket Message Elapsed Size Size Size Time Throughput bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec 87380 16384 16384 10.00 8415.07 Patch 2: MIGRATED TCP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to 192.168.33.1 () port 0 AF_INET enable_enobufs failed: getprotobyname Recv Send Send Socket Socket Message Elapsed Size Size Size Time Throughput bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec 87380 16384 16384 10.00 8931.05 Note that these are simple tests with netperf listening on one end and a simple 'netperf -H [host]' within the guest. If there are other tests which may be interesting please let me know.
