Eth rate limit -> unstable bandwidth

Windows 10 VM, bw limit set to 3MB/sec. Both the download and upload had a flat top, so it wasn't bursty.

Hi Sigxcpu,

what version you are using(pveversion -v) and please send the vm.conf.

spirit · Oct 19, 2015

I think we should look at libvirt code

src/util/virnetdevbandwidth.c

the qos tree is a little bit different than proxmox.

After a log search it locks like it is a iproute problem what is fixed in PVE 4.0.
So we will not try to fix this in PVE 3.4, because we have make or own iproute packed.
And in PVE 4 it is working.

Thanks Wolfgang for debug this !

For proxmox 3.0, maybe iproute2 from wheezy-backport could help ?
