Hi Nick,

I received correspondence from Mellanox today that SR-IOV will be available in the production drivers on Q1 next year.
It is also worth noting that OFED 2 is due in line with the Linux 3.2 kernel release.

I will keep the list in the loop regarding extensions to the VF capabilities etc.

Joseph.

Joseph,

Thank you so much for your time. I know your efforts of getting a high
throughput VM
architecture together must have caused you guys at orion a great deal
of headache.
It's individuals like you that constantly raise the bar by being
amongst the first to
test the nose bleeds.
If it's not too much to ask, please keep us updated on what type of numbers you
are getting, and when the drivers plateau in terms of stability, added
VFs etc...

Kind Regards,

Ninus Khamis.
