*DomU*:
Fedora 9 (x2 - i686, xen:3.2.0-12.fc9)
Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.1 (x86_64, xen:3.0.3-64.el5_2.1), CentOS 5 (i686, xen: 3.0.3-64.el5_2.1),
Fedora 7 (x86_64, xen: 3.1.2-2.fc7)

I know xen on the Dom0 is the only important one. All PV running on a Intel Dual Core Pentium D 2.8Ghz (only one without HVM grrr)

To test I've tried iperf, scp files, and DB link from Oracle -> Oracle.
iperf I get 80-320 Mbps.


At first glance I assume it's cpu problem. Try this :
- disable hyperthread. That should make xen reports only two cpus (which is the number of cores you have) - assign dom0 one cpu only, on a dedicated core with xm vcpu-set and xm-vcpu-pin (e.g. cpu 0) - assign both test domU to other cpu (in your case this would be cpu 1) with xm vcpu-pin or modifying domU config file

Fajar
