Synopsis
Important:virtio-win bug fix and enhancement update
Description
The virtio-win package provides paravirtualized network drivers for most
Microsoft Windows operating systems. Paravirtualized drivers are
virtualization-aware drivers used by fully virtualized guests running on Rocky Enterprise Software Foundation
Enterprise Linux. Fully virtualized guests using the paravirtualized drivers
gain significantly better I/O performance than fully virtualized guests running
without the drivers.
