Ok, perfect .. I will wait to this new version.

But, I don't see how can I balance traffic using ZC using libvirt/qemu:

a) Configure two virtio nics in every guest: one nic for management
and another to sniff traffic.
b) Start every guest with a monitor socket (two sockets in total from
kvm host side, correct?).


Is this correct?? If it is, how traffic is balanced across these vms ??
