KVM developers achieve native network I/O performance
An article posted on the KVM blog confirms that KVM developers have achieved native network I/O performance using PCI passthrough with Intel’s VT-d technology. It means that one of the two bottlenecks (network and disk) in system virtualization is going to be eased soon, if not completely removed, resulting in a faster adoption of system ...
