ProxMox + VirtIO (KVM) #947

Open Fr3DBr opened 9 months ago

Fr3DBr commented 9 months ago

Hi, folks.

I'm trying to use pkt-gen in a virtual machine in proxmox.

Basically, I've loaded netmap.ko and virtio_net.ko drivers and I can confirm both are installed via lsmod and also by checking the driver version in ethtool showing as "-netmap".

bus-info: 0000:00:13.0
supports-statistics: no
supports-test: no

The thing is, when I'm using the netmap virtio driver, the packets are not sent to the network. While if I use the default virtio driver it works, but with a very poor performance (2 Mpps TX Max)

I've run a tcpdump in vmbr0 and I don't see any packets at all, so something else might be missing ?

Is there anything special that must be done, in order to use netmap+virtio in a regular proxmox (kvm) virtual machine ?

Thanks !

Hi @giuseppelettieri / @vmaffione do you have any hints here ? Thanks. :)
