  • I finally succeeded in running netperf under this configuration.
    To make the network (UDP/TCP) work correctly, I had to turn off *hardware checksum
    offload" on guest's network interface with
    $ ethtool --offload enp0s1 rx off tx off
    (probably, "tx off" is mandatory.)

    I'm afraid that this restriction might impose negative impacts on network performance
    under heavy traffic with large data.
    Though I have seen little difference in values in the table above as the test environment
    is quite simple.
