[Xen-users] About 10GE performane on domU (with xen3.4.4)

["Felix Chu" <felixchu@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

 

I have two Dell R720xd servers dom0 running with Centos 5.8 (with xen 3.4.4) installed with Intel 10GE (ixgbe driver) interface. I test TCP transfer rate between dom0, speed is 7.x Gbps (with Netperf tool).  However, I try similar test between two domU, speed drop to 1.x Gbps.

 

domU is running with Centos5.8 (64bit) para-virtualized (yum updated to latest packages).

 

Test 1:  dom0 -> dom0 , speed 7.x Gbps

Test 2:  domU -> dom0 , speed 7.xGbps

Test 3:  dom0-> domU , speed 1.x Gbps

Test 4:  domU -> domU ,speed 1.x Gbps

 

Above tests are carried between two physical machines. From above 4 tests, seems bottleneck on domU RX speed.

 

I suspect related to xen network driver issue on domU. Anyone know any optimization can be done on domU?

 

Thanks a lot.

Felix
