After testing with iperf and iperf3 I see the internal hosts all get around
940mbit or so.

So no issues with either KVM or the guests, it looks like it's squarely on
a network device. Sorry to bother with this. It seems my speeds are testing
around 300-300 for my fiber, when just a week ago I was getting much closer
to advertised 1GB.

Annd after rebooting my router things are fine. sorry to bother.
