Santiago thanks for the help. I am curious about your vale setup. Do you have only internal bridges? Do you bridge the NIC interface or are doing L3?
Afaik i am trying to dind what would be the most efficient way to use the 25GB interfaces whle isolating the services on them. I very hesitant of the approach and unsure if freebsd these days can fit the bill: * run isolated services over the 2x25G . would jails limit the bandwith? * possibly run bhyve services when linux or else is needed . Would using only L3 routing solve some performances issues? benoit On Wed, Aug 10, 2022 at 23:31, Santiago Martinez <[email protected]> wrote: > 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...
