[Xen-devel] etherbridge bottleneck

[David Becker <becker@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I ran some iperf tests today and it looks like the etherbridge
is the limiting factor on throughput.  In the beforetime, I saw great
throughput to the VMs; over 800 Mbps.   With the bridge, the numbers
are in the 400s somewhere.
Is this the speed I can expect from the bridge?
Is there some tuning I should try, or another way to get more bandwidth
into the VMs?

This is with xen-2.0, 2.4.27-xen0 and 2.4.27-xenU.  


My iperf numbers:
 940 Mbps  stock linux -> stock linux
 470 Mbps  stock linux -> xenU
 533 Mbps  xenU -> stock linux 

ether bridge speed
 533 Mbps  xenU -> xen0  on the same host
 422 Mbps  xen0 -> xenU  on the same host

loopback speed
 4.4 Gbps  stock linux 
 3.2 Gbps  xenU
 3.2 Gbps  xen0

(stock linux is 2.4.25)
