Hi Bagas,
this tested on:
- 5.19.0-42 on Intel 82599ES 10-Gigabit SFI/SFP+ Network Connection -- this is host hardware - 6.2.0-32 on Virtio network device (under KVM 6.2 on host hardware above) - 6.5.0-060500rc7 on Virtio network device (under KVM 6.2 on host hardware above)
Result is the same for all cases.
Thank you.
