> Question: I have br-vlan interface mapp with bond0 to run my VM (VLAN
traffic), so do i need to do anything in bond0 to enable VF/PF
function? Just confused because currently my VM nic map with compute
node br-vlan bridge.
I had not actually used SRIOV in my env~ maybe others could help.
Thanks,

Thanks Liping,
I will check bug for tx/rx queue size and see if i can make it work
but look like my 10G NIC support SR-IOV so i am trying that path
because it will be better for long run.
I have deploy my cloud using openstack-ansible so now i need to figure
out how do i wire that up with openstack-ansible deployment, here is
the article [1]

vm cpu is too busy，with numa cpu it works better performance，our way is similar

Agg for numa awared VMs. Dedicated CPU is very good for media service. It makes

some of our app are using 32bit OS, that cause memory issue, when traffic
larger then 50kpps, it dropped a lot,sometimes,it even crash. In this case,
32bit os can actually use very limited memory, we have to add swap for the vm.
Hope your app is using 64 bit OS. Because 32 bit could cause tons of trouble.

without DVR, the L3 node will be bottleneck very quick. Especially default

after you tun that value, it still hard to more that 1Mpps for your network
node.

Virtio use one queue for rx/tx in vm, with this feature you can get more
queues. You can check
