I have tried what you suggested me. I pinned 1 core per guest also pin 1 core to Dom0 instead of allowing dom0 to use all 8 cores. But the results remained same.
Below are the details:-
[root@HPCNL-SR-2 ~]# xm vcpu-list

There is something strange that I have observed in my set-up, when i traceroute guest it doesn't reach any destination. do not get reply from nay hope.
 
[root@F11-G3S2 ~]# traceroute 10.11.21.212
traceroute to 10.11.21.212 (10.11.21.212), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
 1  * * *
 2  * * *
 3  * * *
 4  * * *
 5  * * *
 6  *^C
it displays the same stars till 30. normally it doesn't happen. It should be something like
 [root@F11-G3S2 ~]# traceroute 10.11.21.32
traceroute to 10.11.21.32 (10.11.21.32), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
 1  10.11.21.32 (10.11.21.32)  0.740 ms  0.710 ms  0.674 ms

I feel there is some network configuration issue. would Please guide me how to find out the route cause and to resolve the problem.
How can i check ICMP thing in  my fedora11 system?

Fasiha Ashraf

Perhaps it's CPU/interrupt issue. Can you make sure that dom0, guest1,
and guest2 ONLY use 1 vcpu each, and they're located on DIFFERENT
physical cpu/core (xm vcpu-set, xm vcpu-pin), and repeat the test.

Also, have another window running for each dom0/domU, and observe CPU
load during that test with "top". Which domain uses 100%? Is it user
or system?
