[Xen-devel] VMware multi-nic performance tech note

[Nate Carlson <natecars@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

VMware's published a paper on ESX vs. Xen (Enterprise) multi-nic 
performance:
http://www.vmware.com/pdf/Multi-NIC_Performance.pdf

Basically, it tests network performance from a Windows 2003 guest under 
Xen and VMware, and compares the results.
Just curious if there's any work in progress that would improve this? I'd 
also love to see the test repeated with a Linux PV guest versus the 
fastest way to run a Linux guest on VMware to see how the performance is 
there.  :)
I'd aso be very curious to hear if VMware consulted with XenSource to 
ensure that their benchmarking configuration was optimal, as VMware 
requires you to do to publish benchmarks on ESX:
