Re: [Xen-devel] etherbridge bottleneck

" (1) Is Xen running on a UP, SMP or HT?

all of the above

" (2) If Xen is running on a SMP or HT, are xen0 and xenU running
" different processors or threads?

xm list doesn't break out HT contexts, so who's to say..

" (3) Which scheduler in Xen are you using? Have you changed any parameters?

factory defaults.


Here is a full account of configs and iperf speeds between domains
on an otherwise-idle host via the etherbridge, plus iperf speed over the
loopback interface for each domain.
