Hi Mohammed, A shared memory transport would be a new addition to the code base so there isn't anything yet "in KVM". That said, I'm working on my patch and it will hopefully be accepted soon. Frankly, while I suggested this project, I'm not sure there's enough work remaining for the full Summer. > > 2- Does the project only aim at providing a shared memory transport > between a single host and a number of guests, with the host acting as > a central node containing shared memory objects and communication > taking placde only between guests and host, or is there any kind of > guest-guest communications to be supported? If yes, how should it be > done? My patch currently supports guest-to-guest communication and guest-to-host. I'll be sending out a new version shortly. You can see if there's something you might like to add to it whether it's part of GSoC or not.
