Category: qemu Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Alain Knaff (alain_knaff) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Virtual network (set up via TCP socket) dog slow, but vde ok Initial Comment: I've got two kvm virtual machines that I connect to gether via a virtual network: 1. A samba server (Kubuntu 7.10), whose network I set up with -net nic,vlan=1,macaddr=00:1B:FC:1C:00:01 -net socket,vlan=1,listen=127.0.0.1:1234 2. A Windows XP client, whose network I set up with -net nic,vlan=1,macaddr=00:1B:FC:1C:01:11 -net socket,vlan=1,connect=127.0.0.1:1234 The Windows XP VM has joined the Samba VM's domain. When a domain user logs in, it takes litterally _minutes_ until its profile data is copied to the client, and same thing to copy it back to the server on logout. Setting up both with VDE, it's *much* quicker (only a couple of seconds, rather than minutes for login/logout). I also tried udp mcast networking, but couldn't get both VMs to communicate with each other. A tcpdump on the host shows traffic on port 1234. However, a tcpdump on the Kubuntu guest shows no traffic (not even arp) when I try to ping it from the windows VM ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=893831&aid=1884444&group_id=180599 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
