Flexible Port Partitioning (FPP) Technology Flexible Port Partitioning (FPP) technology utilizes industry standard PCI SIG SR-IOV to efficiently divide your physical Ethernet device into multiple virtual devices. This allows for Quality of Service (QoS) by ensuring that each process is assigned to a Virtual Function and is provided a fair share of the bandwidth. Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq) Virtual Machine Device Queues (VMDq) is a technology designed to offload some of the switching done in the Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) to networking hardware specifically designed for this function. By reducing the overhead associated with I/O switching in the VMM, VMDq greatly improves throughput and overall system performance. Benefits of FPP and VMDq By utilizing FPP and VMDq technologies, users can experience improved network performance, reduced latency, and increased scalability. These technologies also allow for better resource allocation and management, leading to a more efficient and optimized system.
