Hi, I would like to test the 'intnet' networking mode in VirtualBox 4.2.4 (under FreeBSD 9.1-PRERELEASE), running 2 VMs with FreeBSD 9.1-RC3 amd64 each. After installing your port kernel detected the 'virtio' interface and I configured the IP on both machines. I used the 'ttcp' program to test the network performance between machines and I noticed that average transfer rate is around 6-7 KB/s (while using eg. the Intel emulator, |82540EM, it's much better, around 100 KB/s) Do you have an idea why this is so slow? And why the if_vtnet network driver isn't provided in GENERIC kernel? Is it still under development? Regards, -- Marek Salwerowicz |
