General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_UML_NET_VECTOR has multiple definitions:

Vector I/O high performance network devices found in arch/um/drivers/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_UML_NET_VECTOR:

• prompt: Vector I/O high performance network devices
• type: bool
• depends on: CONFIG_UML_NET
• defined in arch/um/drivers/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 4.19–4.20, 5.0–5.19, 6.0–6.12, 6.13-rc+HEAD

Help text

This User-Mode Linux network driver uses multi-message send and receive functions. The host running the UML guest must have a linux kernel version above 3.0 and a libc version > 2.13. This driver provides tap, raw, gre and l2tpv3 network transports with up to 4 times higher network throughput than the UML network drivers.
