      Abstract:
      This document describes the specifications of the "virtio" family of
      devices. These devices are found in virtual environments, yet by design they
      are
      not all that different from physical devices, and this document treats them
      as
      such. This allows the guest to use standard drivers and discovery mechanisms.

      The purpose of virtio and this specification is that virtual environments and
      guests should have a straightforward, efficient, standard and extensible
      mechanism for virtual devices, rather than boutique per-environment or per-OS
      mechanisms.

      TC Description: This is the first public review draft, after months of hard
      work
      by the VIRTIO Technical Committee.
