Hi all!

In my OpenStack installation (Icehouse and use nova legacy networking) the VMs are talking to each other over a 1Gbps network link.

My issue is that although file transfers between physical (hypervisor) nodes can saturate that link transfers between VMs reach very lower speeds e.g. 30MB/s (approx. 240Mbps).

My tests are performed by scp'ing a large image file (approx. 4GB) between the nodes and between the VMs.

I have updated my images to use e1000 nic driver but the results remain the same.

What are any other limiting factors?

Does it has to do with the disk driver I am using? Does it play significant role the filesystem of the hypervisor node?

Any ideas on how to approach the saturation of the 1Gbps link?


Best regards,


George
