Do you mean to test and see if virtio-net is acceptable for your guest
OS? If the guest OS has the driver for virtio-net, then definitely you
should use it. I've never heard of a case of any of the drivers that
emulate real hardware performing anywhere near as well as virtio-net.
no, I mean test the virtual nic speed, will ipref work?
also, in the guest os, the module attached to the virtual nic is virtio-pci, is that
expected?
