Hi Stephen,

Can you please advise on your experience of the kind of data rates you have been able to achieve with vmxnet3.
Also did you have to do any special optimizations at the vmnic of ESXi for the above, kindly let me know.

Regards
-Prashant

Hi Stephen,

This is great news !
I can wait for a formal release of DPDK with your driver.
Please let me know when is the release expected. I will happily migrate to that.

We support multi-segment, if you want I will backport that feature first.
