Hi,

we reconise a slow performance off some our VMs, the speed between is only 10Mbit/s
No I test iperf between the pve nodes and I see, it is the Nodes vmbt0 / eno1 with the poor performance.

iperf -c:
Code:
Client connecting to 10.0.1.41, TCP port 5001
TCP window size: 85.0 KByte (default)
------------------------------------------------------------
[  3] local 10.0.1.4 port 34646 connected with 10.0.1.41 port 5001
[ ID] Interval       Transfer     Bandwidth
[  3]  0.0-10.0 sec   113 MBytes  94.6 Mbits/sec

It is an broadcom BCM5719:

    link/ether 94:57:a5:5a:e6:9c brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

I can't see why it only work with 100MBit instead of 1GBit. I am sure since when it is so. But now after I see the problem I want to clear it.

The next thing is to look to the switch, but any idea?

Bye
