Thanks for the clarification. Intel 82576 nic has been released for more one year, it will be easier and easier to find. I/O performance bottleneck is really the barrier to deploy virtualization confidently. KVM and XEN is sort of ahead of VBOX in this aspect.
Thanks.

What hypervisor should support is VT-d, then SR-IOV gets supported automatically. There were few commits in the VBox source tree with regards to VT-d support, but it looks like very early status. In Addition, Hardware is too scarse to test it for community members to help. -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" _______________________________________________ vbox-dev mailing list [email protected] http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev
