Use accelerated networking for supported operating systems and VM types.
Description#
Enabling accelerated networking for a virtual machine (VM) greatly improves networking performance. Accelerated networking work by enabling single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) to a VM. SR-IOV reduces latency, jitter, and CPU utilization network demanding workloads.
Accelerated networking is available for supported operating systems and VM types.
Recommendation#
Consider enabling accelerated networking for supported operating systems and VM types.
