These two formats have entirely different descriptors, which will be described below. +Addressing Mode +------------------ +GVE supports two addressing modes: QPL and RDA. +QPL ("queue-page-list") mode communicates data through a set of +pre-registered pages. + +For RDA ("raw DMA addressing") mode, the set of pages is dynamic. +Therefore, the packet buffers can be anywhere in guest memory. + Registers --------- All registers are MMIO. |
