Hi Diego and Authors..

Can you clarify if any data path acceleration techniques were used to measure throughput between guest and host OS. If not what is the usefulness of that metric - If the idea is to show raw comparisons then fine - if the idea is to show how bad the VMs are when compared to Unikernel and containers then you have achieved it it well..

The main issues with Unikernels or containers for NFV are not discussed in depth - Issues such as single threading support, IP address assignment and container networking need further exploration and study. Need at least statements in the document that those are for further study.

So perhaps I am missing the point of adoption of this draft - may be the objectives can be clarified.

Regards,
Azhar

Ramki and I believe the document is mature enough to consider its adoption, once it has evolved from an analysis of container technology into a more comprehensive discussion of lightweight technologies in NFV.
