I also experienced that same issue with 13.0-RC2 after upgrading some VMs.
The same issue also exists in Beta4. It only affects IPv6. For me it is
extremely slow in both directions if both VMs are on the same host and are
running 13.0-RC2.
It is easy to reproduce. Simply setup two VMs using virt-manager or proxmox
running FreeBSD 13.0-RC2.
Configure the network to use virtio and setup IPv6. Run iperf using IPv6
and we are down to modem speeds. :-(
If you test using ipv4 no issues at all. To only way to get better speeds
is to disable tso6.
ifconfig vtnet0 -tso6
The host-host speeds after that are still not as good as IPv4 but at least
it=E2=80=99s in multiple Gbps vs just some Kbps. FreeBSD 12.2 has none of t=
hose
issues.
Could it have something to do with the if_vtnet changes on 2021-01-19
committed by Bryan Venteicher https://reviews.freebsd.org/D27904
<ttps://reviews.freebsd.org/D27904>
https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/log/sys/dev/virtio/network?h=3Dreleng/13.0
Haven=E2=80=99t had time to compile a kernel before those changes or right =
after to
see if the issue goes away.
I only tested the ipv6 slowness on virtio. Don=E2=80=99t know if the issue =
exists
on bare metal hardware as well.
