Hi Michal,What I found was that when I restarted the machine and did a virsh edit command to see the xml config, I see that it is was not actually changed. This suggests why I saw 256 again after restarting.So now I tried again to edit the xml via virsh edit command and used the following to set the parameters.<driver name='qemu' txmode='iothread' ioeventfd='on' event_idx='off' queues='1' rx_queue_size='512' tx_queue_size='512'></driver>It was not accepted and I got the error saying :error: XML document failed to validate against schema: Unable to validate doc against /usr/share/libvirt/schemas/domain.rng Extra element devices in interleaveElement domain failed to validate contentWhat does this imply? I have two more other interfaces and do I have to the same to them also?Btw, there are now logs generated now in the domain log or libvirtd logBest Regards,
