Hi All,
I am new to this forum and relatively new to Proxmox, so Hi!. I think the product is absolutely awesome and one of the best Open Source bits of software ever! I have managed to get myself through all the usual noob problems, by googling stuff and am learning loads along the way. I am now stuck on this so need some advice on where to go next.
The server is a brand new Xeon 5 with loads of RAM and hardware raid etc and currently has zero load on it as I am configuring it ready to move from my old server. If I download a 10Gb file from a set internet location with the host using wget it downloads at over 100M/s, the same file from the guest is at 10M/s the whole time the CPU is barely touched, I have set the container to max resources in case was CPU. I have tried the guest with a basic VeNet and a basic bridged Veth.

2013-10-06 18:47:32 (108 MB/s) - `10Gb.dat.1' saved [1250000000/1250000000]
I have ran an iperf from the guest to the host thinking it's bound to be something to do with the connection speed between the two and it hit about 4Gb/sec!
I also did a trace route in case the guest using a different IP took some weird and wacky route.... but it took the same route except the extra hop to the server. I have checked there appears to be no tc traffic control set up and I can't use ethtool etc on virtual nics to set their port speed. What's weird is it seems to always run at what looks like a close to 100mbs speed hence just over 10M/s.
It's running pve-manager/3.1-17/eb90521d (running kernel: 2.6.32-25-pve)
The network card is an Intel Corporation I350 Gigabit Network Connection
If any one has any ideas I would be greatly appreciated as I bought the server, to get the extra bandwidth, which I don't seem to be able to get from the guests.
Thanks
LG
