RE: [Xen-users] Error: Device 0 (vif) could notbeconnected. Hotplugscripts not working

[Mike Viau <viaum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Not sure if I should start a thread for this, but I've been running Xen with a xenified kernel (using the attached .config). I have notice my LAN traffic to my Xen host is bottlenecking now 1MB/s.

I would have thought to believe it was merely just a performance impact due to some Xen overhead. When I rolled back to the Debain xen kernel however my baremetel performance was back at ~4.5MB/s.

I was hoping one could suggest options in the .config that might be modified in order to obtain better LAN performance to the Xen host.
