I've just tested:-

# /usr/local/sbin/ethtool -K eth0 tso off

at Ubuntu 9.04 Server PV DomU at Xen 3.4-rc3-pre Dom0 ( with 2.6.30-rc3-tip).
This command also fixes remote VNC connections performance to DomU.

Yes, I've been seeing this too (and meant to investigate it before
claiming there's abug) and I can confirm that turning off segmentation
offloading "cures" the problem here too.

Now the tcpdump on Dom0 looks interesting. It repeatedly sees a packet
with 2880 byte from DomU coming in, which is then dropped and ICMP
"fragmentation needed" sent back, the DomU resends a 1440 byte packet
(after some delay), which then goes through, but then the next one is a
2880 byte one again, and so on.

FYI: My Dom0 is running NAT, in case this is relevant.

Christophe
