SR-IOV即single root I/O virtualization - 单引导 I/O 虚拟化,这意味着opensatck不在需要网桥。而是吧物理机nic的功能直接扩展到虚拟机实例中去。
官方介绍:
PCI-SIG Single Root I/O Virtualization and Sharing (SR-IOV) specification defines a standardized mechanism to virtualize PCIe devices. The mechanism can virtualize a single PCIe Ethernet controller to appear as multiple PCIe devices. You can directly assign each virtual PCIe device to a VM, bypassing the hypervisor and virtual switch layer.
