[SOLVED] Slow network Speed on VMs but not in Host

[maugates]

I have an R520 server with two Gigabit Ethernet ports running Proxmox VE 8.0. I've tested the network of the host with iperf3 and the speed is average. I have two virtual machines, the first one is running Debian 12, and the other Ubuntu 22.04. The download speed in the Vms is ok but the upload is only 25MB! I've tried to change the VM adapter to Intel E1000, Realtek RTL8139, and Vmware Vmxnet3 but the result is the same. I've also tested NUMA, Multiqueue, and other suggestions found in this forum but without success. Could anyone help me with this issue? Thanks!

If you don't mind, how did you solve it?

Hello! I decided to check my connectivity and found that the problem was with my switch serving the host machine. For some reason, it was causing this slowdown only on the VMS. After changing the switch everything went back to normal.
