[Xen-users] HVM - Windows XP - high UDP package loss



Hi,

I'm using Fedora 7 with the latest XEN kernel and I did some
network benchmarks with iperf 2.02 and NETIO 1.26.

The HVM domain uses 2 vcpus and it is the only DomU on this machine.

I was interested in the network performance of a HVM domain
in which Windows XP runs.

At first I tested the TCP throughput which was relatively low,
compared to a non emulated network devices.

------------------------------------------------------------
Client connecting to 192.168.1.222, TCP port 5001
TCP window size: 16.0 KByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------
[  3] local 192.168.1.122 port 43748 connected with 192.168.1.222 port 5001
[  3]  0.0- 1.0 sec  3.06 MBytes  25.7 Mbits/sec
...
[  3]  0.0-60.0 sec    177 MBytes  24.8 Mbits/sec


After that I tested UDP performance and noticed a high package
loss, but only in one direction.

When DomainU is sending data to Domain0 all packages are received.

In the other direction many packages are getting lost. ( When DomU is receiving data. )
