Hello

Project summary
=================
ptnet is a new multi-queue paravirtualized device that builds on ptnetmap
to allow VMs to exchange TCP traffic at 20 Gbps, while still offering the
same ptnetmap performance (10-100 Mpps) to native netmap applications.
The purpose of this SOC project is to write a ptnet driver for FreeBSD and
a corresponding device model for the bhyve hypervisor.


Status update for week 3
===================
I've completed the implementation of the netmap support for the ptnet
driver, done testing and bug-fixing. The current driver version integrates
with netmap to support applications running in netmap mode over the ptnet
device. The performance is good as expected: 25-30 Mpps throughput at
minimum packet rate between a FreeBSD guest and the host, over a VALE
switch.
