Hi all,

[Apologies if this makes it to the list twice; yesterday's posting seems 
to have gone AWOL.]

The attached is an RFC from Solarflare on a proposal for using 
virtualisable NICs in Xen.  Such NICs can be accessed directly and 
safely by each guest, in order to get better performance.

This is work that we presented at the recent Xen summit.

At this stage, our main goal is to generate discussion on the overall 
approach we describe here.  But we've also included our proof-of-concept 
implementation, and we welcome comments on that too.

Please direct all comments to the xen-devel list.

You can main us directly via xen at solarflare dot com.

Cheers,

Greg
