Re: dom0 -> domU packet loss
> did you get any more details about this ? Any patch ?
The patch I'm currently using is below. It does prevent the drops in the
(Linux) domU, but I'm no longer able to test it on the one machine which
eventually slowed to a crawl with the earlier version of the patch. All
other machines are doing fine.
It's been difficult for me to determine if this is the right thing or
not. I've not yet found documentation or discussion on how the network
drivers are supposed to work.
I tried out iperf. The interesting thing is that my results were
largely the same against a Xen domU and hardware. I can saturate a 100 mb
ethernet with TCP, but with UDP half the packets are dropped somewhere.
Increasing net.inet.udp.recvspace/sendspace helps.
