There are numerous tweaks, fixes, and features that we have added since the v0.1 days. Here are a few of the key highlights. *) VENET support: *) zero-copy transmits (guest memory is paged directly to the physical adapter on the host, where applicable) *) "SAR offloading" (essentially bi-directional GSO with "64k MTU") *) pre-mapped descriptors to reduce latency *) pre-loading of mmu context to reduce latency *) shm-signal's are now routable (e.g. future MQ support) *) vbus is optionally managed in its entirely from the rebundled qemu *) "-net venet-tap" will fully initialize the interface internally..no more scripting! *) vbus components are automatically reaped when the guest exits, even if the exit is not clean. We will update the performance numbers ASAP and announce any changes.
