6Wind Virtual Accelerator Compute

Virtual Accelerator provides packet processing acceleration.

Virtual Accelerator provides low latency and high networking throughput while offloading the virtual switching from the Openstack hypervisor networking stack (Neutron). The CPU resources necessary for packet processing are drastically reduced, so that less cores are required to process network traffic at higher rates. It allows a better determinism for your performances. Virtual Accelerator is fully integrated with Linux and its environment, so that your existing Linux networking scenario does not need to be modified to benefit from packet processing acceleration. For instance, you can still use Linux bridges, OVS, iptables or IPsec and you still benefit from networking acceleration for your VMs.
