Hi rema,

> Can somebody explain what Performance Fast (veth) / Fastest (venet) mean.
> Is this just a mathematical difference or a "human noticeable" .

Well, look in ideal situation the speeds of venet and veth can be roughly equal, but! If you are going to use bridge with veth and have many VEs, then there can be a LOT of broadcast packets in the net and all the VEs would have handle them - and this might significantly decrease the network speed.
(i even don't speak about the intentional broadcasts generation by an attacker)

> I think i must use veth because my hw_firewall blocked venet based VPS because of no MAC-Adresses.

Excuse me, can you please explain what do you mean under "hw_firewall"? "Firewall configuration on the Hardware Node"? If yes - why not to reconfigure the firewall?

Regards,
Konstantin


If your problem is solved - please, report it!
It's even more important than reporting the problem itself...
