So after a little digging and documentation reading, I think what's happening here is that the VM thinks it has a 10GBE NIC, but in reality, the underlying hardware is only 1GBE. Yes, the host hardware has multiple NIC cards, but each VM gets pinned to one of them. (So it's VM-level traffic distribution, not flow-level.)
My limited understanding of the NetPerf docs says that it should be interpreted thusly: MIGRATED UDP STREAM TEST from 0.0.0.0 (0.0.0.0) port 0 AF_INET to NetPerfServerHost () port 0 AF_INET Socket Message Elapsed Messages Size Size Time Okay Errors Throughput bytes bytes secs # # 10^6bits/sec 212992 1024 10.00 11789372 0 9657.81 124928 10.00 203530 166.73 The first line (begins with 212992) says The SENDER'S socket size (that is the VPN client) is 212992 bytes. The Message size (payload) is 1024 bytes. Ran for 10 seconds. It attempted to send 11,789,372 bytes in 10 seconds, giving a throughput of 9657.81 ATTEMPTED traffic. The second line (begins with 124928) says the RECEIVER'S socket size (the netperf target) is 124928 bytes. Of the 11,789,372 packets attempted, only 203530 arrived, giving an actual network throughput of 166.73 Mbit/sec of UDP traffic. I suppose it's important to clarify that the last test case (no VPN) that's actually bare metal server (not VM). But it's using the same network infrastructure. _______________________________________________ openconnect-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/openconnect-devel
