I have a HTPC with 3 Ethernet ports, one connected to my Internet router, and two on one NIC currently unused.
To free up a port on the Internet router I would like to use one of the free ports to connect a device with access to the Internet router.
This HTPC also has a WSL2 instance active which via Hyper-V Manager > Virtual Switch manager connects the vNIC of the WSL2 instance to the Internet router.
Starting from a good working condition, I configured a bridge in Win11 and added the interface connected to Internet and an unused port on a NIC.
(commands below)
This looked to work ok.
The WSL2 instance obtains its normal IP address via DHCP, and is still reachable via SSH
Also the applications running in the WSL2 instance are reachable.
The Win11 host is assigned a fix IP address and, with that, is also normally reachable.
But on a TCP connection between the WSL2 instance and the Win11 host get a lot of retransmissions during video-streaming (e.g. recording or live-tv).
This is also causing very frequent buffering in the video application (Kodi).
Is this a known limitation?
Or did I configure it incorrect?
Bridge configuration:
netsh bridge show adapter
netsh bridge create "vEthernet (WSL)" "Ethernet 2"
netsh interface ipv4 set address name="Network Bridge" static <static IP@> 255.255.255.0 <gw>
netsh interface ipv4 set dns name="Network Bridge" static <dns ip>
