Re: 25/100 G performance on freebsd

Hi Benoit, sorry to hear that the SR-IOV still not working on your HW.

Have you tested the last patch from Intel?

Regarding Bhyve, you can use Vale switches (based on netmap).
On my machines, i get around ~33Gbps between VM (same local machine), 
sometimes going towards 40Gbps... ( These are basic tests with iperf3 
and TSO/LRO enabled).

@Michael Dexter is working on a document that contains configuration 
examples and test results for the different network backend available in 
bhyve.

If you need help, let me know and we can set up a call.
Take care.
