Hey guys, I have a issue with my network at home. in my living room I have my router but in my study we do not have wired network so I used a TP-Link RE650 which has 800Mbps. The RE650 has a switch attached to it, that has my desktop and homelab server. How to achieve that the desktop will use the shortest path to my server? It can't be possible that my desktop has file transfers of only 60MB/s to my server (with virtualised freenas). Because a benchmark of the drive write speeds will result in 1.6GB/s. how to fix this? Is this a hypervisor problem or pure network? thanks.

After the Forwarding Table is filled in the Switch, it will forward packets straight between the two ports without going through the router on that wireless link. The routing seems to choose the shortest path based on the physical configuration.

To verify if forwarding tables are ready, inspect their status or population indicators.

You need a device that handles RS232 or a console port with commands to display the forwarding table in the console. You can perform an iperf test, which would give a reliable assessment of the network's performance.

Direct NIC connection performed more effectively. File transfers increased from 60MB/s to 110MB/s.

Did you explore VirtIO instead of using an emulated NIC such as the e1000? It works excellently without needing dedicated hardware for virtualization.

Virtio isn't working as expected. My board uses a Supermicro with two 1Gb Ethernet ports and an IPMI interface. Only the NXP systems require such high speeds, while other VMs don't need them.

If you have extra space, I'm interested in how you managed it. I assume both ports should belong together in the same IOMMU group unless the board uses different chips for each. Working with them in the same group makes splitting them much easier.

Added a HostPCI adapter and chose the NIC. Made adjustments for a graphics card on an Ubuntu VM. Running on a Supermicro X9DRL-iF.

You can use various hypervisors depending on your needs. Popular options include VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, and KVM with a Linux host. Choose based on compatibility, performance, and your budget.
