[DISCUSS] KVM io throttling
Hi All,
For basic network, the io limit for guest network(nic 2) is 200MB/s, we set the io limit on kvm host as:
</interface>
<interface type='bridge'>
<source bridge='cloudbr0'/>
<mac address='06:45:c4:00:00:0c'/>
<model type='virtio'/>
<bandwidth>
<inbound average='25600' peak='25600'/>
<outbound average='25600' peak='25600'/>
</bandwidth>
</interface>
>From libvirt doc(http://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html), it says above unit is KB/s, but per my testing, it sounds like it's Kb/s. Is there anybody have the same issue?
My libvirt version is 0.9.10 on Centos 6.3.

I'd say for now, do not throttle System VMs.
You mainly want to throttle user Instances to prevent them from clogging
up the network.

There is another issue, there is no way to change io speed from UI for system vm's guest network(nic2) in basic network model, which will impact all the template downloading in a negatively way.
We'd better don't throttle system vm's io speed by default, or at least give admin the way to change the io speed.

Oh, I see, it's 200Mb/s.

On centos 6.3 + libvirt 0.9.10, the number doesn't match:
With the following simple test:
dd if=/dev/zero of=some-nfs-mount-point bs=1M count=10
I can get 104 MB/s if nic2 speed is unlimited, while only get 1MB/s, if nic2 is configured with
<bandwidth>
<inbound average='25600' peak='25600'/>
<outbound average='25600' peak='25600'/>
</bandwidth>
Maybe it's an issue on Centos 6.3?

My libvirt version is 1.0.6 under Ubuntu 12.04 using the Cloud Archive
