Xen + Win2k3 HVM - Slow network

["Sébastien RICCIO" <sr@swisscenter.com>]

Hi,

I am actually testing Xen (Unstable repository) with para-virtualised
CentOS guests and HVM guests (windows 2003 server).

While doing some network throughput tests, I noticed that the para
virtualised guests gets up to 11MB/s transfers rate but the Windows
2003 Server gets only 1.3MB/s on the same file (downloaded from LAN).

Dom0 - CentOS 4.4 64bit
DomUs - CentOS 4.4 64bit
HVM guests - Win 2003 server 32bit (pcnet driver)

Any clues what could be the problem ?

Thanks a lot for your answers.

Best regards,
