Hi.

Really happy with the network performance boost with vbox5!!  Really 
900Mbps over a virtualized network is pretty good.

One thing I notice that the outbound is slower than the inbound. Any 
suggested tweak to get the same throughput?

The configuration:

Vbox 5.0.20
Virtual Machine:  Windows 2012 R2 with the 82540EM network card.

Client:  Windows 7 on physical hardware connected via 1Gbps switch.

Using the latest iperf tests, with default options.

Client -> VM  903Mbps
VM -> Client  572Mbps



thanks,

Geoff
