This section provides guidance regarding networking considerations in VMware Cloud on AWS. SplitRx ModeSplitRx mode uses multiple physical CPUs to process network packets received in a single network queue. This feature can significantly improve network performance for certain workloads. These workloads include: Virtual Network Interrupt CoalescingVirtual network interrupt coalescing can reduce the number of interrupts, thus potentially decreasing CPU utilization. Though this could increase network latency, many workloads are not impacted by additional network latency of anywhere from a few hundred microseconds to a few milliseconds, and the reduction in virtual networking overhead can potentially allow more virtual machines to be run on a single VMware Cloud on AWS host.
