I tested with the same environment and scenarios.
tested one scenarios for three times and compute the average for more
precision.

Thanks, Amos

1 - avg-old.netperf.exhost_guest.txt
2 - avg-fixed.netperf.exhost_guest.txt

The output is word wrapped and generally unreadable. Any chance you can
provide us with a summary of the outcome ?

Cheers,
Ben.

Hi Ben,

The change of TCP_RR Throughput is very small.
external host -> guest: Some of throughput of TCP_STREAM and TCP_MAERTS 
reduced a little.
local host -> guest: Some of throughput of TCP_STREAM and TCP_MAERTS 
increased a little.
