Configuring SR-IOV for improved network security
================================================

In a virtualized environment, on Intel(R) Server Adapters that support SR-IOV,
the virtual function (VF) may be subject to malicious behavior.
Software-generated frames are not expected and can throttle traffic between the
host and the virtual switch, reducing performance. To resolve this issue,
configure all SR-IOV enabled ports for VLAN tagging. This configuration allows
unexpected, and potentially malicious, frames to be dropped.
