Issue – network performance is slower with the E1000 virtual network interfaces
The performance of the E1000 virtual network interfaces is about 30-35% less than VirtIO virtual network interfaces. Changing vNICs to VirtIO will increase the overall network bandwidth of a virtual machine. The VirtIO drivers are included in all major Linux flavors. For Windows machines, an ISO file with VirtIO drivers can be downloaded from http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/WindowsGuestDrivers/Download_Drivers.
