This document summarizes test results from an HPE lab that compared network performance of VMs using Intel X710 and Qlogic FastLinQ QL41xxx NICs passed through to ESXi hosts. A variety of TCP, UDP, HTTP and HTTPS network throughput tests were run between VMs on the two hosts. In most tests, the Intel and Qlogic NICs performed comparably, with Qlogic outperforming Intel in some UDP and HTTP tests when using receive-side scaling. The tests helped validate that the Qlogic NIC meets expectations for VM network throughput.
