UsingVhost

2011-03-08T10:24:57Z

Xming:

As of September 2010, vhost is not included in any released tarballs, so you need the git version.

[[VhostNet]] provides better latency (10% less than e1000 on my system) and greater throughput (8x the normal virtio, around 7~8 Gigabits/sec here) for network.

=== Obtaining the code ===

'''You need the at least qemu-kvm-0.13.0''' (http://sourceforge.net/projects/kvm/files/qemu-kvm/)

=== kernel requirements ===

On the host you need a kernel with CONFIG_VHOST_NET=y and in the guest you need a kernel with CONFIG_PCI_MSI=y

=== example command line ===
To start a guest with vhost:
* kvm -netdev type=tap,id=guest0,script=kvm-ifup,'''vhost=on''' -device virtio-net-pci,netdev=guest0,mac=''ma:c:a:dd:re:ss'' ..''other options''..

=== Caveats ===
Some DHCP clients have problems with this implementation, more [http://www.spinics.net/lists/kvm/msg37660.html details here].
