So you aren't using Jumbo frames though? (I've never tested with Jumbo
frames)

No, I don't use jambo frames.

But Large Send was enabled in the DomU which was affecting
DomU->external traffic, but not DomU->DomX traffic right?

Exactly. But I don't test DomU->Dom0 or Dom0->DomU. Dom0 is in different network on different interface:
- eth0 - Dom0 management, etc.,
- eth1 - DomU's interface with VLAN's.
I used this HOWTO for VLAN's configuration: http://renial.net/weblog/2007/02/27/xen-vlan/

I'd still like to find what the root cause is (netback bug? GPLPV bug?
Physical Ethernet device driver bug?) but I'm glad it's working for you
now.

Tell me what you need and I will give it to you. You had time for me so I'm obliged to find some for you.

Just to get this info in one spot (sorry if I'm asking you to repeat
yourselves), please tell me the versions of:
GPLPV

gplpv_fre_wlh_x86_0.10.0.69, gplpv_fre_wlh_x86_0.10.0.83 and gplpv_fre_wlh_x86_0.10.0.86 (I've tested on these three).

Dom0 Kernel
Dom0 kernel patch source if you aren't running the standard 2.6.18
kernel that ships with Xen, eg a distro kernel perhaps?

# uname -a
Linux xxx 2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 26 22:39:03 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Dom0 network module (eg e1000e)

bnx2

Dom0 network card (just the make and chipset should be fine)

Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit Ethernet (rev 12)

TX speed from DomU to Dom0 as measured with 'iperf -w1m' (approx will be
fine)
It could be quite hard in my current configuration.

TX speed from DomU to a physical machine on the other side of a 1GBit
interface from Dom0
With large data offload enabled/disabled or both?
