Thanx for your advice.

I did:
ethtool -K eth0 rx off
ethtool -K eth1 rx off
ethtool -K eth0 tx off
ethtool -K eth1 tx off


# ethtool -k eth0
Offload parameters for eth0:
Cannot get device udp large send offload settings: Operation not supported
rx-checksumming: off
tx-checksumming: off
scatter-gather: off
tcp segmentation offload: off
udp fragmentation offload: off
generic segmentation offload: off

# ethtool -k eth1
Offload parameters for eth1:
Cannot get device udp large send offload settings: Operation not supported
rx-checksumming: off
tx-checksumming: off
scatter-gather: off
tcp segmentation offload: off
udp fragmentation offload: off
generic segmentation offload: off

There are still packet loss:

dom0: 

44745 packets transmitted, 43039 received, 3% packet loss, time 44745397ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.135/0.199/4.386/0.061 ms

domU:

44643 packets transmitted, 43879 received, 1% packet loss, time 44643431ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.153/0.208/2.991/0.043 ms
