| | gigabit throughput to virtual servers possible in VS 2005? I ran a few tests going from the host to the virtual server using ixia endpoint qcheck testing software.. Seems i'm only getting around 121Mbit/sec... Slightly better than a 100mbit connection, despite gigabit ability.. Is there a way to get more speed out of this in VS 2005.. or will i have to wait to convert to hyper-V for that? Thanks |

With HyperV.. isn't each VM somehow given 10GB? How could this be the case (from what i thought i saw), if the physical nic is 1GB... |
