Hi All,

I have 3 x Intel 5 13th Gen Machine connected to TP Link 10Gbit Switch.

When I perform iperf Host to Host, I am able to get 9.90Gbits/s

But on the created VM, I am not able to get anything more than 3Gbits/s

I have set the MTU in the interface, VLAN and created bridge. Also enabled multithreaded in the network device settings. But still I cannot fix it.

Any help what should be done ?
 
Hi,

can you please provide the output of pveversion -v and qm config <vmid>?
What operating system do you run inside the VM?
 
Hi,

Thanks for reply. I figured out the issue. It is because of the encryption on the network (kubespan) , And now I am able to use at full speed.
 
Great to hear you could solve this!

Please just mark the thread as solved by editing the first post - there should be a dropdown near the title field. This helps other people with the same problem to more easily find this thread in the future! :)
 
By the way,

I got 10Gb nic fiber on Proxmox VE, vmbr1 attached to this nic
vmbr0 managment link is set to 1 Gbe nic

All the VM traffic goes by vmbr1. From my physical PC on a 10Gb switch (Quanta LB6M). I only got 2 Gb/s with Iperf
From VM to my PC same thing.

2 weeks looking for a solution and nothing found :/
Can any one help me ?
