Re: [Xen-users] Xen 3.2 Bridge performance problem (debian lenny)

[Alexander Pirsig <alex@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi again,

sorry it was my fault the problem is I used (ethtool -K xenbr1 tx off) 
in my DOM0-network config which is bad on high loads ;( right config 
that works for me looks like that:
# eth1 -> intern 1
iface eth1 inet static
       up ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0 promisc up

# eth1 -> xenbr1
auto xenbr1
iface xenbr1 inet manual
       bridge_ports eth1
       bridge_fd 1
       bridge_stp off
       bridge_hello 1
       post-up ethtool -K xenbr1 tx on
       down ifconfig xenbr1 down
       post-down brctl delbr xenbr1

The (ethtool -K xenbr1 tx off) needs to be inside of DOMu on postup

Sorry again,

Cheers,

Alex
