[Openstack] Poor instance network performance

I just ran iperf and here is the results, bi-directional

[ ID] Interval       Transfer     Bandwidth
[  5]  0.0-10.0 sec  1.04 GBytes   895 Mbits/sec
[  4]  0.0-10.0 sec  1.09 GBytes   935 Mbits/sec

Look like when guest is under load, it can't handle traffic and start
dropping packets.
