The Solaris vmxnet3s driver's rx path passes up Ethernet headers that are 8-byte aligned, resulting in IP and TCP headers that are only 2-byte aligned. While this isn't a big problem, this results in slower accesses to header fields accessed as 32-bit fields by the TCP/IP stack such as IPv4 addresses and TCP sequence and acknowledgment numbers.
Is this the case for other vmxnet3 driver implementations as well? Any thoughts on if/how this can be remedied? Thanks, -Seb
