  Then it sounds like a bug, if the system is idle while process/domain
are trying to push data on that very system and blocked on processing
this sounds like an I/O scheduling error or something is blocking in
your test.
  An interesting point would be to test with virtIO between 2 domains
hosted on the same machine, to make sure it's not the actual networking
access which is the limiting factor, and would provide an interesting
data point.
