[kvm-devel] Network performance

[Pradeep P. <pp...@ee...>]

Hi,

I have setup a TUN/TAP device in my QEMU-KVM setup, and when I try to 
download a 1G file from the guest VM on a 1Gbit network, the download 
speed is abysmal (3MB/sec). Do I need to setup the QEMU acceleration for 
achieving better speeds ? What is the status of para virtualized 
networking on guests ?

Thanks,
Pradeep
