[12:33] <jronnblom> mralpahbet: try disabling tcp segementation offload on the host that is running vmware. Had a problem with very slow net performance and tso off did cure the problem. At longshot but... ethtool -K eth0 tso off
[12:33] <jronnblom> might also test with  ethtool -K eth0 tx off and ethtool -K eth0 sg off but that was'nt needed for me

[03:57] <owen1> hi all. is there anyone here?

[12:04] <jronnblom> mralphabet: I suppose your hardware doesn't support tcp segementation offload then. I have used this on broadcom and intel nics
[12:08] <jronnblom> and also on my nvidia nic
[12:09] <jronnblom>  ethtool -k eth0 should give you some info about the current state of among other things the tso
