Single-Root IO Virtualization in Proxmox (for Networking)

In this episode, I'm playing with Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) in Proxmox Virtual Environment (PVE). I've heard ruomors that it will be anything from a minor to major improvement in IO performance for my VMs, so I wanted to do some testing on my own system to be sure. Please don't take my results as final, I'm not comfortable saying that I've removed all of the background tasks and load from the measurements. My system is also relatively underpowered, so this may show as a thread-bound performance limit on some of these drivers where your system may not have this issue. Ugreen Nexode Power Banks!
