Use accelerated networking

SYNOPSIS

Use accelerated networking for supported operating systems and VM types.

DESCRIPTION

Enabling accelerated networking for a virtual machine (VM) greatly improves networking performance. Accelerated networking work by enabling single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) to a VM. SR-IOV reduces latency, jitter, and CPU utilization network demanding workloads.

Accelerated networking is available for supported operating systems and VM types.

RECOMMENDATION

Consider enabling accelerated networking for supported operating systems and VM types.
