Today, observing read-only Friday, I decided to use the term literally and do research all day into various unsolved issues I've had in the past, so that I could come in on Monday hopefully with some fixes. 'Fix' after 'fix' involving various offloading features being disabled had led me nowhere, so I stopped researching and chalked it up to some inherent issue with Hyper-V on 2008 R2. The truth of the matter is that I had given up. Pings to other boxes in the same network would vary between 30ms all the way up to 300ms. :)Ģ years is a long time to deal with sluggish VMs.
Edit - It should be known that I was initially researching this issue back in 2012 and the solution was surely not as known as it is now, otherwise, I'd have found it then.
