Hi Benoit, sorry to hear that the SR-IOV still not working on your HW.
Have you tested the last patch from Intel?
Regarding Bhyve, you can use Vale switches (based on netmap).
On my machines, i get around ~33Gbps between VM (same local machine),
sometimes going towards 40Gbps... ( These are basic tests with iperf3
and TSO/LRO enabled).
@Michael Dexter is working on a document that contains configuration
examples and test results for the different network backend available in
bhyve.
If you need help, let me know and we can set up a call.
Take care.

For some reasons. I can’t use SR-IOV on my freebsd machines (HPE
DL160 gen10) with latest 25G HPE branded cards. I opened tickets for
that but since then no move happened.
So I wonder id there is a good setup to use these cards with the
virtualization. Which kind of performance should I expect using
if_bridge? What if i am doing L3 routing instead using epair or tap
(for bhyve). Would it work better?
Any hint is welcome,
Benoît
