Accepting the challenge ! Xen SSD from 12 Eur/year ! Improved 50cents !

Spirit

Existing Prometeus customers can apply code [temp.removed] for this plan for a fixed annual price of €12. Limited quantity !

Fix it
Temporarily removed code before too many take advantage of your mistake.

This is good or bad ?

In the openvz ssd, aren't we get about 1,9 GB/s?

Maounique

It varies, you can get 1.4 and 1.5 as well, however, this is Xen. Overhead is a bit higher and at such speeds is more visible.

@Maounique @prometeus Ah, somehow i forgot about iwstack.

At last i cannot resist, got 1 50 cents plan. Should be good for personal squid proxy and openvpn server.

Is it normal for download speeds on a DALLAS XEN 128 plan to be this much slower than on a DALLASZ3? These results have been pretty consistent since I signed up for both plans.

Xen 128

Download speed from CacheFly: 58.6MB/s

Download speed from Coloat, Atlanta GA: 2.61MB/s

Download speed from Softlayer, Dallas, TX: 23.2MB/s

Download speed from Linode, Tokyo, JP: 350KB/s

Download speed from i3d.net, NL: 446KB/s

Download speed from Leaseweb, Haarlem, NL: 414KB/s

Download speed from Softlayer, Singapore: 266KB/s

Download speed from Softlayer, Seattle, WA: 1.17MB/s

Download speed from Softlayer, San Jose, CA: 1.17MB/s

Download speed from Softlayer, Washington, DC: 1.35MB/s



Z3

Download speed from CacheFly: 108MB/s

Download speed from Coloat, Atlanta GA: 52.4MB/s

Download speed from Softlayer, Dallas, TX: 101MB/s

Download speed from Linode, Tokyo, JP: 15.7MB/s

Download speed from i3d.net, NL: 13.4MB/s

Download speed from Leaseweb, Haarlem, NL: 18.3MB/s

Download speed from Softlayer, Singapore: 16.4MB/s

Download speed from Softlayer, Seattle, WA: 65.1MB/s

Download speed from Softlayer, San Jose, CA: 65.8MB/s

Download speed from Softlayer, Washington, DC: 66.7MB/s

This is because the buffers for network are much lower due to lower memory available so speed varies exponentially with the latency. You will have to edit sysctl.

add the following to the /etc/sysctl.conf of you xen box

net.core.rmem_max=16777216
net.core.wmem_max=16777216
net.ipv4.tcp_rmem=4096 87380 16777216
net.ipv4.tcp_wmem=4096 65536 16777216

and then run
sysctl -p

or reboot. You should see better results. You can try lower value to balance memory usage.
