SR-IOV Virtualization Enhanced .

Virtual Ethernet (mid 2015)• Multiple copies of data• Many-to-one relationship between virtual

adapters and physical adapter• QoS based on VLAN tag PCP bits (i.e. 8 traffic

classes)• Using SR-IOV adds QoS to VIOS under SEA,

but loses the significant SR-IOV hardware performance efficiency

vNIC (4Q 2015) – Power VM 2.2.4 & FW840 and latest OS levels• Adds advanced function – Live Partition Mobility • Improves performance

• Eliminates data copies: Data flows between client partition memory and adapter• Optimized control flow, no overhead from the vSwitch or SEA• Multiple queue support

• Improves Efficiency• Lower CPU and Memory usage (no data copy)• Leverages adapter offload capabilities• LPAR to LPAR communication

• Deterministic QoS• One-to-one relationship between vNIC client adapter and SR-IOV logical port• Extends logical port QoS
