I meant w/o guest change, only vhost changes. Sorry about that.

Ah, excellent. What were the parameters? 
I used half of the ring size 129 for packet counters, but the
performance is still not as good as dropping packets on guest, 3.7 Gb/s
vs. 6.2Gb/s.

Shirley
And this is with sndbuf=0 in host, yes?
And do you see a lot of tx interrupts?
How packets per interrupt?
