So,
You're running IPv6 and IPv4 on the same interface? Can you do without IPv6?

My bridge setup is pretty standard. Speed is OK right after boot. But
over time (hours) it drops to 500-600 k/sec. My setup is stated in the
first post.
tcpdump didn't work:

tcpdump doesn't say anything unusual when it comes to ICMP at least.
Any suggestions to what to test on?
I did  sudo tcpdump -nnvvi xen-pub  icmp[0] = 8 or icmp[0] = 30.
I am clueless on what to test :-)

I can't change the network configuration as I am only on remote right
now. I just want to know if there's anything inherently wrong with my
kernel and / or bridge configuration.
