[xenpreview-dev] XEN Network Performance

[Jan Albrecht]

Hi all,

I currently have XEN up and running and it does work fine.

But the network transfer rate is rather slow. I use a full virtualized
guest with the latest XEN SLES10-x86-64-changeset13138-3.
Network rates a down to 1 or 2 MByte/sec. while the host system should
reach up to 10 MByte/sec.

Now I have found some sources, which a talking about paravirtualized
drivers in a full virtualized guest.
I assume some of you have already running this, so which driver did you
take for this? Or did you install the kernel for paravirtualized guests
in the guest?

Thanks
Jan
