This patch implement virtio network device. Use '-n virtio or --network=virtio' to enable it. The current implementation uses tap which needs root privileges to create a virtual network device (tap0) on host side. Actually, what we need is CAP_NET_ADMIN. The host side tap0 is set to 192.168.33.2/24. You need to configure the guest side eth0 to any ip address in 192.168.33.0/24. Here are some scp performance test for differenct implementations: None of rx and tx as thread: guest to host 3.2MB/s host to guest 3.1MB/s Only rx as thread: guest to host 14.7MB/s host to guest 33.4MB/s Both rx and tx as thread(This patch works this way): guest to host 19.8MB/s host to guest 32.5MB/s Signed-off-by: Asias He<asias.hejun@xxxxxxxxx>
