Hi, Dragos Tatulea

From the above, when a device is created, all the VQs and their 
associated resources are also created.
If VM live migration does not occur, how much resources are wasted?

I mean, to achieve a better downtime, how much resource are used?

"
On a 64 CPU, 256 GB VM with 1 vDPA device of 16 VQps, the full VQ
resource creation + resume time was ~370ms. Now it's down to 60 ms
(only VQ config and resume). The measurements were done on a ConnectX6DX
based vDPA device.
"
From the above, the performance is amazing.
If we expect to use it in the production hosts, how much resources 
should we prepare to achieve this downtime?
