Managed to replicate the setup with the old versions e used in March: Single stream from another machine to chromebook with 1Gbps USB3 Ethernet adapter. iperf -c <address> -P 1 -i 1 -p 5001 -f k -t 10 to HOST: 858316 Kbits/sec to GUEST: 761563 Kbits/sec 10 parallel streams iperf -c <address> -P 10 -i 1 -p 5001 -f k -t 10 to HOST: 842420 Kbits/sec to GUEST: 625144 Kbits/sec > > > > > > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > kvmarm mailing list > > kvm...@lists.cs.columbia.edu > > https://lists.cs.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/kvmarm > > > regards, > Nikolay Nikolaev > Virtual Open Systems
