Hi,

        But as far as I know even having 1GBit network card, the
communication of the guests (at least with HVM guests) will still ahve only
100 MBis, is it right? At least on Xen 3.1.0 this is so.. Does anybody know
if it is a different situation by the paravirtual hosts? Can be somehow
improved the network traffic for HVM hosts?
