SR-IOV provides the ability to partition a single physical PCI resource into virtual PCI functions which can then be injected in to a VM. In the case of network VFs, SR-IOV improves north-south n etwork performance (that is, traffic with endpoints outside the host machine) by allowing traffic to bypass the host machine’s network stack.
