Hi,
If you have either:
- a HVM Linux Guest with unmodified_drivers (pv drivers for hvm)
or
- a HVM Windows guest running on top of a commercial Xen product with PV
drivers installed
you can obtain gigabit speeds. James Harper is working on a set of PV
drivers (GPL) which can run on the open source XEN, but not reaching gigabit
speeds yet.
