Hello List,
Are there any plans on emulating gigabit under qemu/kvm?
I ask because at the moment networking in guests on an ibm x3650 host is
embarrassingly slow. Using model=rtl8139 results in max of 12% of bandwidth
utilisation @ 100mbit (which in practice equates to 10mbit performance), and
using the default model=ne2k_pci results in much faster albeit still
sub-100mbit performance (while reporting 10mbit in the guest). Is this
something that can be worked around? Since the x3650's we use here have 2
gigabit ports, is it possible to pass one to the guest for direct access
instead of being forced to emulate a nic then route via 8021q and tun/tap?
Thanks,
Wes
