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...

...to the local lan. eth0 and eth1 are both assigned zero addresses and br0 is assigned the Firewall server address of 192.168.0.1 I should point out that Shorewall is working fine in Bridge mode, but I have hit some problems while evaluating VMWare Beta 5 on the same server that is acting as an EtherBridge and also running Shorewall. I am testing Win2k in the Guest environment within VMWare. I have tried setting up VMWare in two modes :- a) firstly using NAT between the Virtual server and the Real Host. This works although there were a number of broadcasts showing up in the logs b) secondly (...

....254 -> 192.168.1.16 DHCP/BOOTP DHCPOFFER The network topologu is that there is a etherstub created called vmswitch0 then there is a vnic called dom0 configured in a global zone with ip 192.168.1.254 and dhcp server is listening on dom0 vnic. The guests OSes are then connected to vmswitch0 via etherbridge (so vnic is autmaticlly created). As I wrote above once client is installed from ISO image and configured to use the dhcp server it works perfectly fine so it seems like there is some issue with Xen''s PXE here. is it a known bug? btw: what rtl is reporting half-duplex? Why not a full-du...
