+ <body>
+ <p>This project provides:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>A new driver (<tt>if_ptnet</tt>) for a paravirtualized network
+ device, modeled after the netmap API. The driver supports
+ multi-queue netmap ports, and it is able to work both in netmap
+ mode and in normal mode.</li>
+
+ <li>The emulation of the <tt>ptnet</tt> device model as a module
+ of the <tt>bhyve</tt> hypervisor.</li>
+ </ul>
+
+ <p>The <tt>ptnet</tt> device and driver has been introduced to
+ overcome the performance limitations of TCP/IP networking between
+ bhyve VMs. Prior to this work, the most performant solution for
+ VM-to-VM intra-host TCP communication provided less than 2 Gbps TCP
+ throughput. With <tt>ptnet</tt>, in the same VM-to-VM TCP
+ communication scenario, it is possible to obtain up to 20 Gbps.</p>
