Hello
My name is Avi Cohen and I work in toganetworks which is part of Huawei ERC=
.

1.       My VM is  Fedora 21 and the host is Fedora 22 (kernels are 4.1 and=
 4.2 accordingly)

2.       My Intel core processor  supports  the constant-tsc.

3.       The default clock in the guest is kvm-clock .
When I run a test to  measure packet delay between the host and the VM  (wh=
ich normally  should be  about 5  to 10 micro-sec) - I see about 800 mili-s=
ec delay
I see that delta time between the VM and host is about 800ms  - which means=
 that the sync. Accuracy is bad
What accuracy do I have to expect with this clocking mode (kvm-clock) ?  te=
ns of ms/us/ns?
Maybe I've missed some configuration to achieve a better accuracy ?
Thanks and Regards,
Avi
