Although hardware-assisted I/O virtualization techniques, such as single root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) Star Student Project or self-assisted devices can reduce I/O virtualization overheads and achieve good performance, they rely heavily on extensive hardware support (both NIC devices and platform hardware) and, thus, sacrifice a significant part of the flexibility fundamental to cloud computing, such as live migration and high availability based on VM replication. Therefore, software network I/O virtualization is still interesting because it can preserve high flexibility.
