Slow network performance inside VM

v3ngv3ng Member, Patron Provider

Hello,

I have a server running OpenNebula based on Debian Stretch. I then virtualize using KVM.
I noticed that the network performance in the VM is much slower than directly on the host system.

I ran a script which downloads test files from various mirrors via wget.
Strange is that almost all mirrors in the VM are a lot slower, but others achieve a similar performance as on the host system (Cachefly mirror or IP-Projects speedtest).

I could not yet reproduce what the speed depends on. The system was empty each time the test was run, so no other processes were running in the background.

Anybody have any idea what might be causing this?
I am using a routed network setup on the system.

    The routing is the same, except the vm is also routed through the hostsystem

    Somehow virtio wasn't set properly, works now!

    Thank you!
