During BSDCan 2016, Microsoft announced + the global availability of FreeBSD 10.3 images in Azure. + There are many FreeBSD-based Azure virtual appliances in the + Azure Marketplace, including Citrix Systems' NetScaler and + Netgate's pfSense. Microsoft also made an in-depth technical + presentation to introduce how the performance of the Hyper-V + network device driver was optimized to reach full line rate on + 10Gb networks and achieved decent performance on 40Gb + networks. The slides and video from the presentation are + available from the BSDCan website.

+ +

Microsoft continues to strive to further optimize the + performance of Hyper-V network and storage device drivers. + Work is ongoing to replace the internal data structure in the + LRO kernel API from a singly-linked list to a double-linked + list, to speed up the LRO lookup by hash table, and to compare + the performance with tcp_lro_queue_mbuf().

+ +

The handling of SCSI inquiry in the Hyper-V storage driver is + enhanced to make sure disk hotplug and smartctl(8) + work reliably. Refer to PR 210425 + and PR 209443 + for details.

+ +

BIS test cases are available on GitHub for Hyper-V + and for Azure.
