Here's a summary of the results. I've also attached an ODS format spreadsheet
(30 KB in size) that might be easier to analyze and also has some pinned VM
results data. I broke the tests down into a local guest-to-guest scenario
and a remote host-to-guest scenario.
Within the local guest-to-guest scenario I ran:
- TCP_RR tests using two different messsage sizes and four different
instance counts among 1 pair of VMs and 2 pairs of VMs.
- TCP_STREAM tests using four different message sizes and two different
instance counts among 1 pair of VMs and 2 pairs of VMs.
Within the remote host-to-guest scenario I ran:
- TCP_RR tests using two different messsage sizes and four different
instance counts to 1 VM and 4 VMs.
- TCP_STREAM and TCP_MAERTS tests using four different message sizes and
two different instance counts to 1 VM and 4 VMs.
