Hi Stephan, You're right that CPU is required to drive network traffic however depending on the Host O/S' processor(s), it's usually not much. If I were you, I'd run a few micro-benchmarks using something like netstrain [1] to get a baseline. I'd run it on the Host, then within an uncapped VM, then cap a VM, etc. You can run through the different permutations and see whether you're resource constrained.
