These devices are found in virtual environments, yet by design they are= not all that different from physical devices, and this document treats them as = such. This allows the guest to use standard drivers and discovery mechanisms.= =A0 The purpose of virtio and this specification is that virtual environmen= ts and guests should have a straightforward, efficient, standard and extensibl= e mechanism for virtual devices, rather than boutique per-environment or = per-OS mechanisms.=A0 This is the first public review draft, after months of hard work by the= VIRTIO Technical Committee. TC Description:=A0 The goal of the OASIS Virtual I/O Device (VIRTIO) TC is to simplify vir= tual devices, making them more extensible and more recognizable. The purpose of VIRTIO is to ensure that virtual environments and guests= have a straightforward, efficient, standard, and extensible mechanism for virt= ual devices, rather than boutique per-environment or per-OS mechanisms. Public Review Period: (*) The TC has requested an extended Public Review period due to the ho= liday season. The public review starts 00:00 GMT 25 December 2013 and ends 23:59 GMT = 31 January 2014. This is an open invitation to comment. OASIS solicits feedback from pot= ential users, developers and others, whether OASIS members or not, for the sak= e of improving the interoperability and quality of its technical work.
