Hello.

We can get up to ~90 Gbit/s on XCP-ng's dataplane (we're on OpenVSwitch) 
between hosts. I'm not that confident in VRs getting such speeds, likely there 
will be bottlenecks on Dom0 side, but for Shared-type networks there could be 
potential.
We are still working on optimizing how much XCP can squeeze out of a VM before 
we reach hard limits of its PV controllers. We'd still like to try push as much 
as we can here.

Lugupidamisega / Best regards, 

Joann Mõndresku

Using KVM or XCP-ng? Because are you sure that the network bridges can 
handle this? I'm a KVM guy and virtio-net struggles to go over 10Gb/s iirc.
