[Xen-users] ping in hvm domain not working correctly

["Artur Linhart - Linux communication" <AL.LINUX@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

 

            I have found a strange behavior if pinging from the HVM domain (windows). I reproduced this behavior on different physical machines once in DomU Windows 2003 Server Enterprise x64 R2 and once in Windows 2000 advanced server (both with latest patches).

On both machines the ping response times seem to be generated randomly if running the OS instance as DomU (also negative response times are generated or received within the ICMP) – this could mean the ICMP packets are not delivered correctly by xen to DomU?

 

If the remote host cannot beaccessed, then the timeout comes correctlz. Onlz in the case the pinged host exists and answers such strange behavior occurs.

 

            Does anybody met this problem and what can be the resolution for this?

 

            With best regards

P.S.     Output of ping from the DomU:
