Bhyve and 10G networking between Host and VM

[dodgeandburn]

I'm running CentOS 7.4 on a FreeNAS 11.1 host. I'm using NFS to connect to the host to access the local dataset (is there a better way?). The speed appears to be limited to 1G, which is the speed of the host's physical adaptor. Is there a way for the host and vm to communicate faster, such as at 10G speeds? An internal virtual adaptor maybe?

Thanks

Did you find the answer to your questions?

Coming from all sorts of experiences with vmware I can tell you that the short answer is no. You need a physical 10Gb adapter that you can pass-through to your VM using virtIO if you have the required CPU capabilities, I believe that for Intel CPUs you need VT-d.

Even on vmware the performance of a 10Gb vNIC is spotty without installing vmware tools.

Using a nic with virtio connected to tap0 to connect to the freenas host with NFS.
Quick test now, I got 340MB/sec over NFS to host so clearly more than 1G network.

In theory, would it be possible to add 10 1gb nics and bond them is a easy/cheesy workaround solution?
