[Xen-users] losing network packets on heavy load, xen 3.0.3
I have made this test many times with similar results all times: Two virtual machines, both with Debian 3.1 r3, the firs is running "iperf -s -d" and the second runs in a infite loop "iperf -c [ip addr of machine 1] -t 60 -N -P 10 -d" whit this creates 10(+10) parallel bidirectional connections for 60 seconds on the server side I get this: vm-debian-B:~# iperf -s

Re: [Xen-users] losing network packets on heavy load, xen 3.0.3
Hi Luis. It sounds very similar to our issues with Xen and bridged networking. In our case it is also a problem when NFS servers have high disk I/O (I''ve posted to this list about it, but no response yet). Just to verify that it indeed is a similar issue, then if you monitor the number of dropped packets on the vif in dom0, does the number of dropped packets increase when running this test? Just use ''ifconfig vifX.X'' to see the status of a vif. I really like the way Xen makes us think about server management, but if these network issues isn''t resolved one way or the other, then we might need to rethink our virtualization strategy. Are there other options for configuring networking in Xen than using the bridges? /me goes googling. /Daniel Portalen> From: Luis Vinay <luisvinay@gmail.com> > Date: Fri, 24 Nov 2006 13:09:08 -0300 >
