Re: [libvirt-users] Strange behavior of QoS

Hi, I'm having some weird problem with the setup of the QoS on a bridged network. As the docs states, outbound/inbound average speed should be expressed in KBps (KBytes per second) but in order to get a maximum speed of 10Mbps (megabits per second) surprising enough I have to use 2560 on the guest (not 1280 as expected). Using 1280 units I get a speed og 5Mbps. I'm aware of peak and burst parameters but even with them I'm seeing the same (long-term) behavior. Here follows my configuration. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
