Hi,
I'm running OpenVZ on a CentOS 6 x64 machine with a stable kernel
(2.6.32-042stab049.6) and have even tried the issue below on the
test-branch (2.6.32-042stab052.2).
The issue I'm experiencing is also reported by Fredericep on the forum
but never got any follow-up:
http://forum.openvz.org/index.php?t=tree&goto=44238& &srch=inbound#msg_44
238
It's the exact same problem: my hardware node runs perfectly fine, it
has both full in- and outgoing networking speed. I can consistently
(3hours+ as tested) download files at my full line speed.
Whenever I try to same in a container, I can get a quick burst of
network traffic for a few seconds (10MB/s+) and then fall back to
10-200Kb/s, it varies.
My first troubleshooting went to incoming traffic shaping for the
eth0/venet0 interface, but that's not the case:
# tc -s qdisc ls dev eth0
qdisc mq 0: root
Sent 65350399 bytes 363366 pkt (dropped 0, overlimits 0 requeues 0)
rate 0bit 0pps backlog 0b 0p requeues 0
# tc qdisc del dev eth0 root
RTNETLINK answers: No such file or directory
But this is a default install and it doesn't have any traffic shaping
rules active. Neither does it have iptables active. It's all still
running the default OpenVZ stack.
Second idea was a possible hit of TCPSNDBUF or TCPRCVBUF as the defaults
(1720320) are rather low. But even changing it to something idiotic like
9223372036854775807 didn't make a difference. The /proc/user_beancounter
also didn't report any failed packets.
When tcpdumping the stream, I don't see anything abnormal except that
it's just slow traffic. Nothing out of the ordinary at first glance.
I'm looking for any advice on how to troubleshoot this, as I believe
this may very well be a CentOS 6 kernel bug - but to prove that, I would
of course need to dive deeper which is where my train of thought kind of
ends.
I look forward to any reply/idea this list may give me.

Mattias,
1. The same doesn't happen on the very same host system (VE0)? Inside container only?
2. Are you using venet or bridged networking?
Thanks,
Kirill
