Hi developers of PVE

I would like to talk about of the network speed for VMs:

I see in this link (Web official of Red Hat):
https://videos.cdn.redhat.com/summit2015/presentations/12752_red-hat-enterprise-virtualization-hypervisor-kvm-now-in-the-future.pdf

In the page 19 of this pdf, i see a interesting info:
Network Function Virtualization (NFV)
Throughput and Packets/sec "RHEL7.x + DPDK (Data Plane Development Kit)":

Millons packets per second:
KVM = 208
Docker = 215
Bare-metal = 218
HW maximum = 225

Between KVM and Bare-metal, the difference is little: 10

Also i see a list of HW NICs compatibility on this link:
http://dpdk.org/doc/nics

So, i would like to ask about of the future of PVE in network performance 
terms.

Best regards
Cesar
