** Description changed:
etup: amd64, xen0 = ubuntu 7.10 ("gutsy"), xenU = ubuntu 7.10 ("gutsy"),
network config with xenU routing via xen0.
scp xenU:file . very slow, ~50KB/s
scp xen0:file . several MB/s
on xen0:
scp xenU:file . many MB/s
had a look at tcpdump, I see lines like this:
- 10:55:30.319389 IP (tos 0x8, ttl 64, id 59286, offset 0, flags [DF], proto

so the xenU is sending packets with size 2948? why?
ifconfig on xenU:
- eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:3E:6D:03:2D
- inet addr:xenU Bcast:... Mask:255.255.255.255
- inet6 addr: fe80::216:3eff:fe6d:32d/64 Scope:Link
- UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
- RX packets:34918213 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
- TX packets:34262839 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
- collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
- RX bytes:12337072144 (11.4 GB) TX bytes:48486812526 (45.1 GB)
+ eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:3E:6D:03:2D
+ inet addr:xenU Bcast:... Mask:255.255.255.255

so the MTU is 1500 which is fine. xenU sending too big packets.
+
+ == WORK AROUND ==
+
+ It seems that turning off TX checksum offloading within the domU
+ eliminates the issue:
+
+ ethtool -K ethN tx off
