9 | | According to the Linux-kvm.org page, Vhost.net is a kernel-level backend for virtio, the main platform for I/O virtualization in KVM. Vhost.net reduces virtualization overhead for virtio by removing up to four system calls per packet on data path, without guest changes, says the Vhost.net project. The intended result: faster performance for I/O-intensive KVM virtualization sessions. |
