Have a look if vhost_net is loaded on the guest and if not load it with modeprobe
vhost_net
Last when doing your lab perf test are you sure that you are not penalised by disk io
either in input or outputs

Hi,
I've got two hosts. Most of my guests are Windows systems. I'm using LANBench to
test network performance.
1) From an physical PC to a guest (it doesn't matter on which host), I get almost
1Gb/s. They are connected through a 1Gb/s swich => very good!
2) From a guest on one host to a guest on the other host => plusminus 1Gb/s =>
Okay!
3) Between two guests on the same host => plusminus 230Mb/s ???
The guests have network over a bridged interface, so I tried the same test over a NAT
interface => The same 230Mb/s...
Is there a way to tweak connection speeds between two guest running on the same host?
Thanks in advance...
