Hi,
I am trying to use the netmap on vmware in CentOS guests, I am able to use
netmap with the e1000 driver on vmware (though the throughput is close to
line speed).

But is there any way to use the netmap with vmxnet3? Is there any patch
available to support that? Or any suggestion on how can I achieve
high-packet-rate between vm-to-vm using netmap?

Best Regards,
Pradosh
