Get ready, you're going to see a whole lot more of this crap. Basically they want SDN but on a whole new level. VM's as you know it are no longer about isolation but how much they can squeeze on a box and more importantly, the ability for the host to see into the VM. Especially in DPDK.

To be clear, from a performance standpoint, writting directly into a vms buffers IS "faster", the problem is there's zero security in it. Also doesn't help the network stack sucks out of the box even in Linux.

Hardware vendors have been trying very hard to bypass the CPU and hide their code in ASICS rather then open it for scrutiny. You need only look at Intel's IME to understand why that is a really, really bad idea.

If the data is entirely yours, go nuts. Otherwise, HELL NO.

Considering the majority of email will be spam for Viagara, does this mean Yahoo will finaly admit their part in spams enablement?

It's been my long held belief that email providers themselves intentionally facilitate spam because it perpetuates their scummy business model. What I'd LOVE is some way to say "this email {domain | address} cannot be routed through nor used by the following providers" - of which Google, Yahoo, LinkedIn, Micrsoft and Amazon would all be at the top. I 've used domains I knew were blacklisted smply because they stood a very low chance of being archived. Prety ironic.

More I think of this.. hmm. I know Microshaft and Google have domain signing and some companies use it for IDP AM's (Adobe for example), what I those were intentionally bogus. Or, even better, any mx /spf dns records to those providers..
