Hi,

While analysing traffic generated by "virsh vol-download", I noticed
that the download stream exhibits the following pattern (over
qemu+ssh://):

<Start>
Read 4 bytes (= frame length field)
Read 262144 bytes (= header + payload ; VIR_NET_MESSAGE_HEADER_MAX
(24) + VIR_NET_MESSAGE_LEGACY_PAYLOAD_MAX (262120))
Read 4 bytes (= frame length field)
Read 48 bytes (= header + payload)
<Go back to Start>

While nothing seems to be actually wrong with this pattern, the
average payload on large data transfers is only (262120+24)/2 ==
131072 and the CPU makes double the iterations necessary. I'll be
trying to figure out where this comes from, but I imagine that will be
pretty hard to track down.

Two questions:
 1. Do you see the same thing?
 2. Any ideas/hints where I could start looking?

Regards,
