I use iperf3 to test network speed, sending data from other computers to proxmox VE host / VM is slow.

Hi,

May you post the output of the following command:

Code:
dmesg | grep enx

And also post the VM config?

Thank you for your reply. Please see my second screenshot, without any VM installed and running, the network speed is still slow.

I followed this guide https://post.smzdm.com/p/alxzo398/ to solved this problem. There is a problem with the network card driver that comes with proxmox VE. Manually installing the official driver will solve it.

Sorry this is a Chinese page
