Yes, testing iperf from those VMs to another LAN machine machine unsurprisingly never exceeds 1Gbps (my other LAN machine doesn’t support 2.5), but VMWare is still slower. Maybe it’s due to Workstation using the 13700k e-cores, as someone else commented.
The thing is since my Win11 PC is hosting those 2 VMs I’d expect VM-HOST/HOST-VM network transfers to be faster, even using NAT instead of bridged, yes, it does improve the transfer speeds. but VMWare is still behind Vbox, even with vmxnet3 instead of e1000.
Anyway, thanks for the reply, it might as well come down to being a “Windows thing”, I never had these inconsistencies on a proxmox host, for example.
