Benchmarked via "iperf" 2.0.4 ============================================= Test between two VMs: (different methods of VBox) ============================================= Connection via VDE: (One VDE switch on host, both VMs connected to it.) 107-150 Mbit/sec Connection via VBox "intnet": 170-214 Mbit/sec Connection via VBox "Bridge": (one TAP interface) 162-209 Mbit/sec ============================================= Test between Host <-> Guest: (different virtual NICs) ============================================= Connection via VBox "Bridge": (guest has VirtIO, connected to host's eth0) 270-280 Mbit/sec Connection via VBox "Bridge": (guest has Intel 1000 MT Server, connected to host's eth0) 136-143 Mbit/sec Connection via VBox "Bridge": (guest has AMD pcNET-III, connected to host's eth0) 60-63 Mbit/sec ================================================== Test between Host <-> Guest: -- Qemu/KVM vs VirtualBox ================================================== Connection via VBox "Bridge": (guest has VirtIO, connected to host's eth0) 270-280 Mbit/sec Connection via KVM "Bridge/TAP": (guest has VirtIO, connected to host's tap0) 1.06-1.12 Gbit/sec Difference is quite Huge. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" _______________________________________________ vbox-dev mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev
