VirtualMachine: Internet Connection Speed

>>59944078
Never noticed anything like that but I've never specifically tested it either. Did you install the quest additions? Did you try using a different model of emulated NIC?

> Virtualbox

There's your problem.

> Anything not VirtualBox

And that's a problem, too.

QEMU

In the meantime try switching it to bridged mode.

>>59944187
what is vmware

>>59944290
heard about QEMU, will look into it

will try switching to bridge mode, and see how that goes, thx!!!

If you can, use the VirtIO driver with guest additions. It's practically native speed. Or at least use bridge mode instead of NAT.

>>59944392
thx, right now it is on NAT, will try bridge

by VirtIo, you mean virtio-net ?

>>59944290
is QEMU really faster than Virtualbox?

>>59944465
bridged will fix it because it will expose your actual connection to the virtual OS. with NAT its not and is much safer.

>>59944522
With KVM yes.

>>59944522
Once you pair it with KVM it is as close to metal as they come.
You do stupid shit like can overcommiting 8x and live to tell the tale.
