Hello, I have looked at competitors product documentation (Parallels Workstation), and they fully document VT-d as yet another network mode. Conceptually I fully agree with their approach.
VirtualBox has 3 levels of network access: 1. NAT (layer-3), uses your host's TCP/IP stack. (default) 2. Bridge (layer-2), uses your host's Ethernet driver. (bypasses host's TCP/IP stack) 3. VT-d (layer-1), uses your host's Network Hardware. (bypasses host's TCP/IP stack *and* host OS hardware [Ethernet] drivers). =========================== I would like to ask the possibility of doing the same for VirtualBox. (i.e. adding VT-d to "Chapter 6. Virtual networking") I'm unable to help this time, due to lack of VT-d hardware. Best wishes, -- -Alexey Eromenko "Technologov" _______________________________________________ vbox-dev mailing list [email protected] https://www.virtualbox.org/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev
