I just fail understand why we can't do software defined network or

shortcomings that force us to invent new infrastructure).
Existing virtio-net works with a host central vSwitch, and it has
the following disadvantages:
1) long code/data path;
2) poor scalability; and
3) host CPU sacrifice
Please show me the numbers.
Sure. For 64B packet transmission between two VMs: vhost-user reports
~6.8Mpps, and vhost-pci reports ~11Mpps, which is ~1.62x faster.
This result is kind of incomplete. So still many questions left:
- What's the configuration of the vhost-user?
- What's the result of e.g 1500 byte?
- You said it improves scalability, at least I can't get this
conclusion just from what you provide here
- You suspect long code/data path, but no latency numbers to prove it
