[Xen-users] Network nightmare. Is NAT better than bridge for DomU to DomU?

["G. Michael Carter" <mikey@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm having lots of fun with my xen machine...

I've done all the tips I can find with sysctl and txqueuelen.   External 
machine to Xen Dom0 is about 40-50MB/s and to DomU's anywhere between 
10-40MB/s  

But DomU to DomU is being a real pain.   Most times I only get 6MB/s.  
One thing I've noticed (I think) is when my webserver domU talks to my 
db domU speeds start fluctuating really bad and the network traffic is 
rather small.  virt-top will report 60MB/s transmition on the vir 
interfaces even though the file is only transferring at 2MB/s
I was wondering if I set up a local virtual network would it be faster 
than the bridge from DomU <-> DomU network?    Any one have any tips 
other than what I've found about sysctl and txqueuelen?
Michael
