ena

Amazon Elastic Network Adapter. See Setup on EC2.

We have observed issues in offloading checksums for UDP datagrams when using IPv6. Therefore, it is recommended to set the front interface's support for IPv6 UDP hardware checksumming to false in the network configuration.

Bandwidth in Amazon instances is allocated per-instance, not per-interface. This means that the front and back interfaces of a Gatekeeper server will share the same bandwidth, so overwhelming the front interface will deny service to the back interface.

virtio

KVM vhost and virtio. See Setup on Virtual Machine.

Note: checksum offloading is not supported in virtio, which is currently a Gatekeeper requirement.

bonding

DPDK bonded device driver.
