Hello,

I posted allready in a duplicate bug, haven`t seen, that this is the
main thread.

I was fighting with the same error described here. I installed Hiranos kernel 
(32-bit version) on my AMD Athlon X2 5600+ server.
With that kernel I am now able to get my network up and running, however the 
network connectivity is still broken for large data transfers.

I use right now Hardy Heron for Dom0 and my DomU Clients, all with the
patched Kernel.

My problem is:

Every outgoing tcp-connection (from a domU) stalls and finally hangs, as
soon as there is more data than a couple of bytes going out.

Doing a "ls -laR /" in an ssh-session is allready enough. As soon as I
transfer in a second session a large file from my DomU-Guest with FTP to
another physical server in the internet, IP connectivity to the DomU is
not longer possible, till I kill both processes and wait some time.

It is no problem transfering large files etc. TO my domU server, the
problem only occurs when sending data out.

I am running the routed network with public IP addresses on all
interfaces.  I was now able to trace the issue a little further:

running an scp from a virtual domU host to another physical server in the same 
datacenter i had four tcpdumps sniffing. 
I stopped the scp when the connection was stalling.

domU eth0:   reports 1627 packets  (all packets to dest-ip)
dom0 vif1.0: reports 1627 packets  (all packets to dest-ip)
dom0 eth0:  reports 1295 packets   (all packets to dest-ip)
destination:  reports  1295 packtes  (all packets from domU-ip)

So I realized, that the packet-loss happens in the dom0 and not longer
in the eth0-vifX.X connection.

However communication with the dom0 itself is no problem, neither in or
out.  Comparing the dumps from both interfaces of dom0 I see, that just
every 3rd to 6th packet is missing on eth0 and will be finally resend if
not confirmed with an ACK.

I have no firewalling (empty iptables) in dom0

Any ideas??

Just repeating:  There is no problem in the other direction: From
outside TO domU....

Regards

  Wolfgang
