Problem Description
===================

High volume workload such as telco workloads require throughput optimised
datapaths to deliver traffic to the guest. The standard kernel vhost
implementation is not able to provide adequate performance to support telco
workloads. The qemu vhost-user interface introduced in qemu 2.1 provides an
alternative userspace interface that could be used to support telco workloads
in combination with high throughput userspace vSwitches.
