high-performance networking card that is available to AWS virtual
machines. It introduces enhancements in network utilization
scalability on EC2 machines running various operating systems, in
particular &os;.</p>
<p>The goal of &os; enablement is to provide top performance and a
wide range of monitoring and management features such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>multiple queue modes</li>
<li>various offload functionality</li>
<li>admin queue</li>
<li>asynchronous notification</li>
<li>robust hardware access</li>
<li>scalable number of MSI-X interrupts</li>
<li>counters</li>
</ul>
<p>The current state offers stable driver operation with good
performance on machines running &os; directly on the hardware.</p>
