+Linux* Base Driver for Intel(R) Ethernet Multi-host Controller
+==============================================================

+Identifying Your Adapter
+========================
+The driver in this release is compatible with devices based on the Intel(R)
+Ethernet Multi-host Controller.
+
+For information on how to identify your adapter, and for the latest Intel
+network drivers, refer to the Intel Support website:
+http://www.intel.com/support
+
+
+Flow Control
+------------
+The Intel(R) Ethernet Switch Host Interface Driver does not support Flow
+Control. It will not send pause frames. This may result in dropped frames.
+
+
+Virtual Functions (VFs)
+-----------------------
+Use sysfs to enable VFs.
+Valid Range: 0-64
+
+For example::
+
+    echo $num_vf_enabled > /sys/class/net/$dev/device/sriov_numvfs //enable VFs
+    echo 0 > /sys/class/net/$dev/device/sriov_numvfs //disable VFs
+
+NOTE: Neither the device nor the driver control how VFs are mapped into config
+space. Bus layout will vary by operating system. On operating systems that
+support it, you can check sysfs to find the mapping.
+
+NOTE: When SR-IOV mode is enabled, hardware VLAN filtering and VLAN tag
+stripping/insertion will remain enabled. Please remove the old VLAN filter
+before the new VLAN filter is added. For example::
+
+    ip link set eth0 vf 0 vlan 100	// set vlan 100 for VF 0
+    ip link set eth0 vf 0 vlan 0	// Delete vlan 100
+    ip link set eth0 vf 0 vlan 200	// set a new vlan 200 for VF 0
+
+
+Additional Features and Configurations
+======================================
+
+Jumbo Frames
+------------
+Jumbo Frames support is enabled by changing the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU)
+to a value larger than the default value of 1500.
+
+Use the ifconfig command to increase the MTU size. For example, enter the
+following where <x> is the interface number::
+
+    ifconfig eth<x> mtu 9000 up
+
+Alternatively, you can use the ip command as follows::
+
+    ip link set mtu 9000 dev eth<x>
+    ip link set up dev eth<x>
+
+This setting is not saved across reboots. The setting change can be made
+permanent by adding 'MTU=9000' to the file:
+
+- For RHEL: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth<x>
+- For SLES: /etc/sysconfig/network/<config_file>
+
+NOTE: The maximum MTU setting for Jumbo Frames is 15342. This value coincides
+with the maximum Jumbo Frames size of 15364 bytes.
+
+NOTE: This driver will attempt to use multiple page sized buffers to receive
+each jumbo packet. This should help to avoid buffer starvation issues when
+allocating receive packets.
+
+
+Generic Receive Offload, aka GRO
+--------------------------------
+The driver supports the in-kernel software implementation of GRO. GRO has
+shown that by coalescing Rx traffic into larger chunks of data, CPU
+utilization can be significantly reduced when under large Rx load. GRO is an
+evolution of the previously-used LRO interface. GRO is able to coalesce
+other protocols besides TCP. It's also safe to use with configurations that
+are problematic for LRO, namely bridging and iSCSI.
+
+
+
+Supported ethtool Commands and Options for Filtering
+----------------------------------------------------
+-n --show-nfc
+  Retrieves the receive network flow classification configurations.
+
+rx-flow-hash tcp4|udp4|ah4|esp4|sctp4|tcp6|udp6|ah6|esp6|sctp6
+  Retrieves the hash options for the specified network traffic type.
+
+-N --config-nfc
+  Configures the receive network flow classification.
+
+rx-flow-hash tcp4|udp4|ah4|esp4|sctp4|tcp6|udp6|ah6|esp6|sctp6 m|v|t|s|d|f|n|r
+  Configures the hash options for the specified network traffic type.
+
+- udp4: UDP over IPv4
+- udp6: UDP over IPv6
+- f Hash on bytes 0 and 1 of the Layer 4 header of the rx packet.
+- n Hash on bytes 2 and 3 of the Layer 4 header of the rx packet.
+
+
+Known Issues/Troubleshooting
+============================
+
+Enabling SR-IOV in a 64-bit Microsoft* Windows Server* 2012/R2 guest OS under Linux KVM
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+KVM Hypervisor/VMM supports direct assignment of a PCIe device to a VM. This
+includes traditional PCIe devices, as well as SR-IOV-capable devices based on
+the Intel Ethernet Controller XL710.
