I am going to use bhyve for virtualisation. Well, why not try to use SR-IOV at the same time, the network controller is supposed to support this. I'm on FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE.
Output of
There is no directory /dev/iov.
Looking at the source of the igb driver there is not much in there for SR-IOV. If I compare the igb driver for FreeBSD and for Linux (both downloaded from the intel site) it looks like SR-IOV is supported on Linux, but not on FreeBSD.
Now my question: Is this assumption correct, is SR-IOV not supported in the igb driver, or am I missing something else entirely?
