Hi there,
I''m running a Windows 7 HVM with 4 passthrough''d devices and
signed
GPLPV drivers on a Debian Wheezy dom0 with kernel 3.4 from
experimental. And it''s almost fine.
Everything works, secondary AMD graphics card, sound card, USB
controller. The only trouble I have is with the network.
In general, it''s working: internet access is capped at 100Mbps (ISP),
tested with my ISP''s flash speedtest; "localhost" traffic is
capped by
the limitations of my HDD reading and/or SSD writing (perhaps it''s
some other limitation, but at that speed I don''t care). I have
copied> 2GB with 100MB/s over samba. No problem there.
However, I cannot watch f.e. Youtube videos. As soon as a video is
played, there is an (almost) complete network outage in Windows. The
video plays for a few seconds, gets stuck for a number of seconds, the
network recovers and the procedure repeats.
The same happens when starting a video from a samba share (the same
that I copied with 100MB/s) and when the game TERA is running.
I started tcpdump on the vif while TERA was running and I tried to
open a website. I could see ARP requests (for my router/dns) leave the
interface and I could see the response. However, the request was
repeated over and over again as if Windows couldn''t get the response.
The second I quit TERA, the network was accessible again.
There were no new lines in /var/log/xen/*.log. Any idea what happened
and how I can fix it? Find more detailed information below.
Cheers,
Volker
