Performance and limitations of virtual bridges

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

 



Hi,

Is there a limit in the number of interfaces a virtual bridge (created with
brctl) can support without having a severe impact in performance?

I guess that there is no absolute answer for that question :), but maybe
there is some kind of procedure/tool to know the "stress" or "load" that a
virtual bridge is supporting in a given moment (in a similar way that a
"top" can show you the CPU load).

My question is due to I'm using a virtual bridge with 14 interfaces (each
interface correspond to a Xen virtual machine in the same physical host)
and, given that I'm experiencing transmission delays in the network
supported by the bridge, I'm suspecting about a loss of performance of it.
 
Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
