Thread-topic: DOMU to DOM0 performance issue

I was using fedora core 8 with xen 3.0.3 with one guest running windows 2003 with paravirtual drivers.

Network performance was close to native performance when DOMU or DOM0 was talking to a different physical host.

DOMO to DOMU is around 160 MB/sec

DOMU to DOM0 is very bad. (In the order of 4 MB/sec)

 

I was using iperf tool to test the network performance.

 

Here are the details from ipconfig.
