10 packets transmitted, 10 received, 0% packet loss, time 9002ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.554/0.605/0.646/0.037 ms
It's nearly doubling the speed..
I wonder whether this is typical for KVM vs. Xen, and how VMWare ESXi is faring.
At work, 0.5ms between hosts, 0.5ms within an ESXi host (but then again, with the nexus 5k and 7k switches and distributed virtual switches, doesn't all traffic end up going out the box and into the core switch and back anyway? Hold on, I'll just make sure I'm pinging the same vlan. Yep, still 0.5ms. But then again, why do you care about latency? I've not seen a non-HPC workload that cares about 1ms ping times. -- Tim Connors
