Hi. |
| 14 |
I use XEN (latest) without migration and have no big problems so far. |
| 15 |
The only big problem I had was to set up the network addresses of the |
| 16 |
domU's to their own subnet and to have dom0 routing instead of bridging. |
| 17 |
But that was to solve mainly with some websites which describes that |
| 18 |
task. And I disabled tx checksumming on the network interfaces in each |
| 19 |
domU to make the network go but this was discussed on the xen mailing list. |

My network speed from one xenized machine to another xenized machine is |
| 22 |
asymetric ( 30 MByte/s vs. 15 MByte/s (roughly) from DOM0 to DOM0, |
| 23 |
depending on the direction, measured with iperf ) on GB Ethernet but I |
| 24 |
believe that my hardware is the bottleneck, not XEN. I will further |
| 25 |
investigate the problem when I have some spare time. |

BTW. I didn't use genkernel, I configured the kernel by hand. |
