KVM-QEMU TAP versus User mode network stack

  • This benchmark is addressed on the difference between user-mode-network-stack and tap interface of qemu-kvm.
  • Image is placed on Host OS, to minimize the real network effect.
  • Parameters for user mode network stack: -net nic -net user,tftp=/tftproot,bootfile=gpxe_script
  • Parameters for TAP network: -net nic -net tap,ifname=tap0,script=no
  • Default interface for guest OS is Realtek 8139.
  • Get a disk image with 268,435,456 bytes.

Port wscale branch against current gPXE master

Recent TCP updates is a lot different from previous base of wscale branch. Still working on it.
