Re: [asterisk-users] PCI Passthrough of T1 cards
Asterisk does fine in a virtual instance. The key is finding hardware that would support more than just virtualization (i.e., SR-IOV) Not sure if such a card exist. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?

Re: [asterisk-users] PCI Passthrough of T1 cards
Hello James, Thank you so much for your response. I should have chose my words carefully. PCI pass-through in terms of virtualization of devices and it's draw back are well know. I was leaning more towards near host performance virtualization using SR-IOV. This moves emphasis back to the production drivers of the interface card using virtual functions etc., and can provide near host performance. Rephrasing my question, are any of the T1 pci manufactures providing support for virtualization using SR-IOV and virutal functions?

PCI pass through is a function of the virtual machine's host system, not with the t1 card drivers. -- _ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
