Networking in Windows (2003 R2) looks a bit problematic:

1. Latency is very big - this is made from domU, there is almost no load
on dom0 and domU (Windows):

# ping 192.168.111.186
PING 192.168.111.186 (192.168.111.186) 56(84) bytes of data.

--- 192.168.111.186 ping statistics ---
10 packets transmitted, 10 received, 0% packet loss, time 9000ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.580/4.931/9.144/2.437 ms


For non-HVM guests I have latency of about 0.074 ms.


2. There are slight packet losses:

# ping -c 10000 -f 192.168.111.186
PING 192.168.111.186 (192.168.111.186) 56(84) bytes of data.
................
--- 192.168.111.186 ping statistics ---
10000 packets transmitted, 9984 received, 0% packet loss, time 4708ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.295/0.400/9.534/0.345 ms, ipg/ewma 0.470/0.438 ms


For non-HVM guestes I have no packet losses.


Is it because of the qemu/realtek network driver?
