An administrator needs to modify an AHV VM to support a large number of concurrent network connections. The VM has:
Which modification can improve network performance for network I/O-intensive applications?
Correct Answer:
C
Receive Side Scaling (RSS) VirtIO-Net Multi-Queue improves network performance by distributing network processing across multiple CPU cores.
Option C (Enable RSS VirtIO-Net Multi-Queue) is correct:
This setting reduces CPU bottlenecks by allowing multiple queues to handle network packets.
It is essential for high-throughput network applications.
Option A (Add more vCPUs) is incorrect:
CPU resources are important, but without enabling RSS, additional vCPUs will not optimize network traffic distribution.
Option B (Enable AHV Turbo Technology) is incorrect:
AHV Turbo improves disk I/O, not network I/O.
Option D (Add more RAM) is incorrect:
RAM does not directly impact network performance.
