Here commands that I use for VMs - copy and paste. It is an adaptation of 
Lennert's namespace script. VM id's are local to my host. Network addresses are 
10.100.1.x/24 and 2100:1::x/120 on eth1 of the respective node. Includes MPLS 
encap, IP-IP encap and none to compare performances.

Go back to VM2:

ping -c 1 10.10.10.10
ping -c 1 10.10.10.11
ping -c 1 10.10.10.12

netperf -c -C -H 10.10.10.10  -l 10 -t TCP_STREAM
netperf -c -C -H 10.10.10.11  -l 10 -t TCP_STREAM
netperf -c -C -H 10.10.10.12  -l 10 -t TCP_STREAM
