Do the same test with scenarios guest to guest (on same host) and guest to exguest.From that two scenarios, throughput could be reached over 1Gb with 256k message size. After checking again the raw data for rhel6.1 ,I have to revise my results for rhel6.1 in comment 2 .in comment 2, it shows the throughput for total of 3 iterations.I have averaged it in the following "comparison" part. version: kernel-2.6.18-262.el5 kvm-83-235.el5 win2k8 r2 sp1 guest with virtio-win-prewhql-0.1-10 comparison: message | rhel5.7 host | rhel5.7 host | rhel6.1 host | size | guest -> guest | guest -> exguest | guest ->exguest | --------+----------------+------------------+ -----------------+ 2K-S 98.59 91.42 96.17 4K-S 192.65 173.91 174.69 8K-S 309.29 268.44 324.66 16K-S 420.84 354.78 517.69 32K-S 624.91 557.79 766.56 64K-S 767.74 694.31 1023.9 128K-S 916.59 979.03 1284.5 256K-S 1066.32 1098.36 1396.95 2K-R 94.75 70.69 85.34 4K-R 191.23 172.5 174.95 8K-R 307.4 267.13 324.65 16K-R 419.84 353.67 517.69 32K-R 624.56 555.57 767.1 64K-R 767.51 692.55 1023.93 128K-R 916.1 976.26 1283.75 256K-R 1064.23 1095.73 1395.78 Two additional questions: Do you have the results of "guest->guest" with rhel6.1 host? And do you have results for "host->host2 (exguest host)"? (In reply to comment #13) > Two additional questions: > Do you have the results of "guest->guest" with rhel6.1 host? > And do you have results for "host->host2 (exguest host)"? No, we don't have . This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unfortunately unable to address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Closing this RHEL5 bug. We are focusing on network performance for RHEL6.3, and soon we would like to test its performance. |
