Hello John,
a common problem is packets being dropped when they pass from the
hypervisor to the instance. There is bottleneck there.
check the 'virsh dumpxml' of one of the instances that is dropping
packets. Check for the interface section, should look like:
<interface type='bridge'>
<mac address='xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx'/>
<source bridge='qbr5b3fc033-e2'/>
<target dev='tap5b3fc033-e2'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<driver name='vhost' queues='4'/>
<alias name='net0'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x03'
function='0x0'/>
</interface>
how many queues you have ??? Usually if you have only 1 or if the
parameter is missing completely is not good.
in Mitaka nova should use 1 queue for every instance CPU core you
have. It is worth to check if this is set correctly in your setup.
Cheers,
Saverio
