Upload speed problem for virtualized Windows 7 or XP and NAT

Reported by: Ladislav Nesnera Owned by:
Component: network/NAT Version: VirtualBox 4.2.0
Keywords: Cc:
Guest type: Windows Host type: Linux

Description

I have the same problem as described here - http://www.appleimac27.com/2012/08/25/how-to-fix-windows-8-virtualbox-upload-speed-problem-on-imac/ i.e. upload is significantly lower in the guest then in the host (0.18 versus 2.75 Mbit/s)

I can't use suggested workaround (switch to Bridge) because it is impossible for 3G modem. Very Interesting is that virtualized Ubuntu has full upload speed with NAT

Host OS - Linux nb 3.5.4-1.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Sep 17 15:03:59 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux (Fedora 17)

I've added logs. Let me know if you need something else.

Could you please compare iperf numbers when iperf -s running on your host with numbers iperf -s running on you guest and share the results?

There must be some internal limitation because the bandwidth is always absolutely the same for Windows but it varies for host OS and Ubuntu
