Network performance may be very slightly affected by the virtual network device. If your application is very sensitive, just use the "--net host" option when invoking the container. I have benchmarked X310 performance using the "--net host" option and gotten effectively identical results inside a container vs. running natively. I do not consider Docker containers to affect performance in any way. --n > > On Wed, Apr 6, 2016 at 4:23 AM, Stefan Wunsch < > stefan.wun...@student.kit.edu> wrote: > >> Hi all! >> >> I have build a docker tool-chain for an image with GNU Radio and UHD >> installed via PyBOMBS on top of Ubuntu.
