Boost your network performance on Linux VMs on Azure

Boosting network performance on Linux VMs on Azure primarily involves enabling Accelerated Networking, which utilizes Single-Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) to bypass the host's virtual switch. Further optimizations include updating to Azure Linux Tuned Kernels, adjusting kernel parameters for network buffers, enabling BBR congestion control, and setting the default queue discipline (qdisc) to 'fq'. Newer Azure Boost-compatible VM sizes also offer enhanced network and storage offloading for even greater throughput.
