The 1st box runs Xen and sends packet to the 2nd box.
The test runs on dom0 with no load at all (the same behaviour occurs
with 1 domU sending packets and dom0 doing nothing).
The 2nd box doesn't run xen and receive and counts udp packets
received without responding.

No, the 1st runs Xen and 2nd not.

dom0 on the first box. domU, as said before, act in the same way.
