Why both the bandwidth and latency performance are dropping so dramatically
with multiple VQ?
What's the expected benefit from multiple VQs
Heh, the original patchset didn't mention this :) It really should.
They are supposed to speed up networking for high smp guests.
If we have one queue per guest CPU, does this allow us to run lockless?

LLTX? It's supposed to be deprecated, isn't it?
I was referring back to "Subject: virtio net lockless ring" which
Stephen sent back in June, nothing more specific.

I assumed from his query that this was still an active area of

Stephen?

Thanks,
