Re: [Xen-devel] network hang trigger



James

I can confirm that your problem occurs in xen-2.0-20040914. In this example a4.local is the xen0 machine (2.6.8.1-xen0), a30 is one of several xenU guests on a4 (all 2.6.8.1-xenU). First a simple ping, which works OK. Then your special poison ping: nasty pause, and possibly useful messages.

   [administrator@a30 administrator]$ ping a4.local
   PING a4.local (192.168.0.4) 56(84) bytes of data.
   64 bytes from a4.local (192.168.0.4): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=5.72 ms
   64 bytes from a4.local (192.168.0.4): icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.150 ms

   [administrator@a30 administrator]$ ping -s 1473 a4.local
   PING a4.local (192.168.0.4) 1473(1501) bytes of data.

I hope that helps.

I have found that simply doing a ping with packetsize > 1500 (maybe
mtu???) causes the network to hang for a short time. This is from xenU
and xen0 on the same machine.

Can someone else _please_ test this? I am able to make the network hang
by saying from domU:
ping -s 1473 <dom0 ip>
(1473 + 28 byte header = 1501 byte packet)

I'll do more testing tomorrow.

thanks

James
