Epyc VM to VM networking slow
-
It could be a cpu/xeon specific optimisation that is very unfortunate on EPYCs. It isn't unheard of.
-
Yeah, that's why I'd like to get more data, and if I have enough, to brainstorm with some Xen dev to think if it's something that could be fixed on "our" side (software) or not (if it's purely a hardware thing)
-
@olivierlambert said in Epyc VM to VM networking slow:
I wonder about the guest kernel too (Debian 11 vs 12)
Here are my results with Debian11 vs. Debian12 on our EPYC 7313P 16-Core Processor on the same host. Fresh and fully updated VMs with 4vcpu /4GB RAM, XCP-NG guest tools 7.30.0-11 are installed.:
All tests were made 3 times showing the best result.
All tests with multiple connections were made three times -P2 /-P4/-P8/-P12/-P16 showing here the best result:

I will check now if I could perform the same test with a Windows VM.
Update
A quick test with two Windows 7 VMs, both with 2 vcpu / 2GB RAM have shown the best result with, the latest available Citrix guest tools are installed:
C:\Tools\Iperf3\iperf3.exe -c 192.168.1.108 -P8
In average 11.3 GBits/sec were reached.
-
So we might have something weird in Debian 12 make it a lot slower
-
Perhaps try the Debian 12 guest with mitigations=off
-
Hello guys,
I'll be the one investigating this further, we're trying to compile a list of CPUs and their behavior. First, thank you for your reports and tests, that's already very helpful and gave us some insight already.
Setup
If some of you can help us cover more ground that would be awesome, so here is what would be an ideal for testing to get everyone on the same page:
- An AMD host, obviously
yum install iperf²
- 2 VMs on the same host, with the distribution of your choice¹
- each with 4 cores if possible
- 1GB of ram should be enough if you don't have a desktop environment to load
- iperf2²
¹: it seems some recent kernels do provide a slight boost, but in any case the performance is pretty low for such high grade CPUs.
²: iperf3 is singlethreaded, the-Poption will establish multiple connexions, but it will process all of them in a single thread, so if reaching a 100% cpu usage, it won't get much increase and won't help identifying the scaling on such a cpu. For example on aRyzen 5 7600processor, we do have about the same low perfomances, but using multiple thread will scale, which does not seem to be the case for EPYC Zen1 CPUs.Tests
- do not disable mitigations for now, as its only on kernel side, there are still mitigation active in xen, and from my testing it doesn't seem to help much, and will increase combinatory of results
- for each test, run
xentopon host, and try to get an idea of the top values of each domain when the test is running - run
iperf -son VM1, and let it run (no-P Xthis would stop after X connexion established) - tests:
- vm2vm 1 thread: on VM2, run
iperf -c <ip_VM1> -t 60, note result for v2v 1 thread - vm2vm 4 threads on VM2, run
iperf -c <ip_VM1> -t 60 -P4, note result for v2v 4 threads - host2vm 1 thread: on host, run
iperf -c <ip_VM1> -t 60, note result for h2v 1 thread - host2vm 4 threads on host, run
iperf -c <ip_VM1> -t 60 -P4, note result for h2v 4 threads
- vm2vm 1 thread: on VM2, run
Report template
Here is an example of report template

- kernel version
- Results:
- v2m 1 thread: throughput / cpu usage from xentop³
- v2m 4 threads: throughput / cpu usage from xentop³
- h2m 1 thread: througput / cpu usage from xentop³
- h2m 4 threads: througput / cpu usage from xentop³
³: I note the max I see while test is running in vm-client/vm-server/host order.
What was tested
Mostly for information, here are a few tests I ran which did not seem to improve performances.
- disabling the mitigations of various security issues at host and VM boot time using kernel boot parameters:
noibrs noibpb nopti nospectre_v2 spectre_v2_user=off spectre_v2=off nospectre_v1 l1tf=off nospec_store_bypass_disable no_stf_barrier mds=off mitigations=off. Note this won't disable them at xen level as there are patches that enable the fixes for the related hardware with no flags to disable them. - disabling AVX passing
noxsavein kernel boot parameters as there is a known issue on Zen CPU avoided boosting when a core is under heavy AVX load, still no changes. - Pinning: I tried to use a single "node" in case the memory controllers are separated, I tried avoiding the "threads" on the same core, and I tried to spread load accross nodes, althrough it seems to give a sllight boost, it still is far from what we should be expecting from such CPUs.
- XCP-ng 8.2 and 8.3-beta1, seems like 8.3 is a tiny bit faster, but tends to jitter a bit more, so I would not deem that as relevant either.
Not tested it myself but @nicols tried on the same machine giving him about 3Gbps as we all see, on VMWare, and it went to ~25Gbps single threaded and about 40Gbps with 4 threads, and with proxmox about 21.7Gbps (I assume single threaded) which are both a lot more along what I would expect this hardware to produce.
@JamesG did test windows and debian guests and got about the same results.
Althrough we do get a small boost by increasing threads (or connexions in case of iperf3), it still is far from what we can see on other setups with vmware or proxmox).
Althrough Olivier's pool with zen4 desktop cpu do scale a lot better than EPYCs when increasing the number of threads, it still is not providing us with expected results for such powerful cpus in single thread (we do not even reach vmware single thread performances with 4 threads).
Althrough @Ajmind-0 test show a difference between debian versions, results even on debian 11 are stil not on par with expected results.
Disabling AVX only provided an improvement on my home FX cpu, which are known to not have real "threads" and share computing unit between 2 threads of a core, so it does make sense. (this is not shown in the table)
It seems that memcpy in the glibc is not related to the issue,
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/nullhas decent performances on these machines (1.2-1.3GBytes/s), and it's worth keeping in mind that both kernel and xen have their own implementation, so it could play a small role in filling the ring buffer in iperf, but I feel like the libc memcpy() is not at play here.Tests table
I'll update this table with updated results, or maybe repost it in further post.

All help is welcome! For those of you who already provided tests I integrated in the table, feel free to not rerun tests, it looks like following the exact protocol and provided more data won't make much of a difference and I don't want to waste your time!
Thanks again to all of you for your insight and your patience, it looks like this is going to be a deep rabbit hole, I'll do my best to get to the bottom of this as soon as possible.
- An AMD host, obviously

Heya!
Just chiming in that we (WDMAB) Are keeping tabs on this thread as well as our ongoing support ticket with you guys.
Saw our result up on the list.
If we can do ANYTHING further to assist then please do tell us. We are available 24/7 to solve this issue since it is very heavily impacting to our new production deployment.Regards.

@bleader I've been investigating this issue on my own system and came across this discussion. I know this is a somewhat old thread so I hope it's ok to contribute more data here!

No special tuning on any of the VMs, just a fresh install from the netboot ISO for each respective OS.
I also don't fully understand why my host seems to be limited to 1Gb. The management interface is 1Gb, but that shouldn't matter? The other physical NIC is 10Gb SFP+, just for the sake of completeness.
Please let me know if there's anything at all that I can do to help with this!
-
FYI, we are discussing with AMD and another external company to find the culprit, active work is in the pipes.
-
@timewasted Thanks for sharing, as long as we haven't found a solution, it is always good to have more feedback, so thanks for that.
For FreeBSD it usus the same principle of network driver, but it seems to have lower performances, not only on EPYC system, this could be another investigation for later
I am indeed surprised by your vm/host results, I generally get a way greater performance there in my tests. I agree the management NIC speed should not impact it at all… You said no tuning so I guess no pinning or anything, therefore I don't really see why that is right now.
-
@bleader I stumpled upon this thread and this issue kept me wondering so I did a quick test on our systems:
Running iperf3 on ou HP's with AMD EPYC 7543P cpu's, debian12 to debian12 vm I get
iperf3 -c 192.168.1.19 -P 10
iperf3 -c 192.168.1.19
Same on a HP with Intel Xeon E5-2667
iperf3 -c 192.168.1.113 -P 10
iperf3 -c 192.168.1.113
FREAKY!
Doesn't affect us because we don't have inter-VM traffic to speak off.
-
@manilx thanks for the additional results, and yes, it is a pretty big issue, but even with multiple people looking at it or trying to help out, we were not able to pinpoint the root cause yet
-
This is over 4 months old, and is affecting a LOT of my customers.
It is a BIG problem for my company.Is there anything that we can do to help resolve this?

@nicols Hello, you are not alone in this. We have delayed the deployment of our core ISP routing as virtual routers due to this.
We have an XOA premium and xcp-ng enterprise subscription and an open case on this.
I cannot go into detail about what is being said in there but i can say that the approach @olivierlambert and vates have is very good and they have my full confidence on this one.
@manilx i can say this affects all vm traffic as we have vm out to switch over to a second hardware host into a VM there and we see the limit there aswell just the roof is twice as high as inside the same HW box
Either way. Vates is VERY well aware of how serious this is and are taking good efforts to fix it.

@Seneram True. Just tested 2 debian12 sitting on 2 EPYC host:
10 parallel tests:
One:
Bummer! Worse than I thought. But Vates will certainly get to the bottom of this.
-
Just for additional insights, have tests been made with different BIOS/firmware settings? Especially EPYC firmware has a lot of settings affecting internal latency vs throughput for different workloads. I recently deployed an EPYC 2x48c/96t system for a simulation software. The changes in the firmware could make 20% difference in rendering time for this application. Not saying it is a root cause, but it could possibly improve the situation here. My guess is that much of the issue is due to bad latency and erroneous scheduling leading to additional latency.

@Forza We have tried all the settings avail to tweak on our hardware, We have a full big twin chassi we have dedicated to vates doing testing of this issue and the first roughly month was spent going over settings together with vates and making sure everything was tweaked properly.
AMD is involved themself and if anyone knows AMD firmware settings and tweaking it would be AMD.
In all seriousness it is a very good suggestion but it has been looked into and unfortunately do minimal or no difference.
-
@Seneram thanks, was guessing it was the case. I hope the issue is resolved soon.
-
Please note that we are actively investigating to it, and believe me it's costly (25k€ already invested to track this down). So as you can see, it's a priority and something we are actively working on. AMD is also aware of it.

@bleader Had some time to test this on an AMD system (HP T740 Thin Client). Hopefully it helps a bit, even it is not an Epyc CPU.
