Thanx for your advice.

There are still packet loss:


I'm also seeing large amounts of packet loss as displayed in xm top for the vif of any domU which is doing disk and network IO concurrently.

Network performance is fine by itself, but when there is disk IO at the same time network gets very bad.

Tried disabling checksum offloading and this has made no difference.


dom0:
44745 packets transmitted, 43039 received, 3% packet loss, time 44745397ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.135/0.199/4.386/0.061 ms

domU:

44643 packets transmitted, 43879 received, 1% packet loss, time 44643431ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.153/0.208/2.991/0.043 ms
