 Performance towards the

just a few KB/sec (!). Transfer of large files never end at all.
Then a helpfull soul on IRC gave me the hint to do
"ethtool -K eth0 tx off"  in the domUs. that helped dramaticly.

For me you are this helpful soul. I had this problem for half a
year now and no idea how to fix it. Network performance from a
domU to external systems as been as low as 4-8kBytes/sec. Now this
is fixed.

Thank you very much.

looks like a bug in xen.

Is this a known bug for Xen developers and are there any plans to
fix this?

Ralf
