Allocating 64K always even for small packet is kind of waste and stress for guest memory. Virito-net try to avoid this by inventing the merge able rx buffer which allows big packet to be scattered in into different buffers. We can reuse this idea or revisit the idea of using virtio-net/vhost-net as a transport of vsock. > > What interesting is the performance is still behind vhost-net. > > Thanks > Actually I don't understand why pkt_len is limited to VIRTIO_VSOCK_DEFAULT_RX_BUF_SIZE in virtio_transport_send_pkt_info(), while I think it should used VIRTIO_VSOCK_MAX_PKT_BUF_SIZE instead.
