Anno domini 2009 Daniel P. Berrange scripsit: [...]
In the (nearish) future NICs will start appearing with SR-IOV capabilities. This gives you one physical PCI device, whcih exposes multiple functions. So a single physical NIC appears as 8 NICs to the OS. You can thus directly assign each of these virtual NICs to a different VM directly,a voiding the need to bridge them.
I don't think its worth spending too much time trying to come up with other non-bridged NIC sharing setups when hardware is about todo it all for us :-)
Is this hope or do you know about any timelime for this? Ciao Max -- Follow the white penguin.
