Dear @ll,
I'm wondering what the theoretical maximum bandwidth is for a tap bridged network between a bhyve hypervisor and a single guest vm. There is no physical NIC attached.
Questions:
A) Is this already a good result for tap/bridge configuration?
B) Does netgraph provide a better result ?
Thank you for your help/advice/experience in advance.
Regards,
tanis
