Public bug reported:
Hi,
Internet performance for Host to Quest is low.
The speed Guest to same Guest is 11.3 Gbits/sec
The speed Host to same Host is similar (9.8-11 Gbits/sec)
But the speed from Guest to Host is slow and around 1Gbit/sec.
In the reality traffic never leave a Host. I expected that in this case speed
should be close to Host to Host.
It is important for virtual infrastructure when you have several Guests on a
same Host. Guest to Guest on a same host has speed around 1 Gbits/sec too.
