[Xen-users] Re: domU network fails under load - vif breaks

At a certain point that I have not established exactly, the
network load takes out the pv network. For example, if I initiate
a bittorrent session in a pv domU, I get a slow build up of
network load, and then connectivity is lost to both of the pv
domU's. If I console into them, they cannot ping outside the
network, but they can ping their own interfaces. A tcpdump on the
dom0 physical shows no traffic. However, during all this, the hvm
domains are able to use their network connections without issues.
I have experienced the same issue with Ubuntu 8.04. The only solution
I have found is to limit the rate of the nic so that it doesn't reach
a transfer rate that breaks the networking.

Thanks Pepe. My last test showed the network breaking at 3.6Mbs - too
slow to lower the nic rate, and having networking running that slow
would make the vm unusable for its purpose.
I have upgraded Xen from 3.2.1 to 3.3, and the problem remains, which
means I have changed:
1) Change domU kernel (2.6.21, 2.6.24, 2.6.25)
2) Change domU userland (gentoo, ubuntu)
3) Change dom0 physical nic + driver (Realtek 8169 -> 8168)
4) Change Xen version (3.2.1 -> 3.3)
The only thing I haven't changed is the dom0 kernel. I am using a stock
2.6.21-xen gentoo kernel, so it would be great if anyone watching this
that has pv domUs working under a 2.6.21 kernel would post their .config
so I can compare it to mine.
Thanks,
Paul
