So they are using timers for reliability, and receiver is always free to
discard any unacked data.
Virtio-net knows nothing above L2, so they are totally transparent to device
itself. I still don't get why not using virtio-net instead.
Thanks
Is your question why is virtio-vsock used instead of TCP on top of IP
on top of virtio-net?
No, my question is why not do vsock through virtio-net.
Thanks
