it awkward to schedule:<br>

- SR-IOV and directmap into the hypervisor (we're looking at Zardara Storage's work on this with libvirt, which has never been incorporated into the mainline but basically works fine)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hi, all<br>
I want to know if there are any plan to support SR-IOV networking in openstack?<br>
<br>
SR-IOV network reduce the CPU utilization greatly and improve the scalability and sharing capability greatly [1]. Combining with bonding driver [2], it can also support live migration.<br>
<br>
However, SR-IOV networking also have some issue traditionally. For example, it's not easy to control flow from SR-IOV NIC, and not easy to setup the tenant network. However, SDN can ease such limitation greatly, also some private environment does not
have highly control requirement and will be helpful.<br>
<br>
Any idea? Can this be a topic candidate in design summit?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
