Hi,
We are experiencing some network limitations on our virtual machines, we have done some
initial testing to pinpoint the exact issue.
Hardware:
2 x 25G NICs per physical machine
2 x 100G interlinks between datacenters
iPerf test between two VMs in same host on same cluster and same datacenter reveals
~20GB/s (what is more or less expected)
iPerf test between two VMs in differet host on same cluster and same datacenter reveals
~20GB/s (what is more or less expected)
iPerf test between two VMs in differet host on different cluster and different datacenter
reveals ~10GB/s (what is half or less than expected)
There are no firewalls or other identified blockeing equipment between the datacenters.
The only difference, as I see it, are traffic going across the 100G interlinks.
Are there anything that needs to be tuned / setup in the NICs either on the VM or the host
to be able to get higher speed between the datacenters?
