This plugin enables the configuration and usage of SR-IOV VF networks in containers and orchestrators like Kubernetes.

Network Interface Cards (NICs) with SR-IOV capabilities are managed through physical functions (PFs) and virtual functions (VFs). A PF is used by the host and usually represents a single NIC port. VF configurations are applied through the PF. With SR-IOV CNI each VF can be treated as a separate network interface, assigned to a container, and configured with it's own MAC, VLAN, IP and more.

SR-IOV CNI plugin works with SR-IOV device plugin for VF allocation in Kubernetes. A metaplugin such as Multus gets the allocated VF's deviceID(PCI address) and is responsible for invoking the SR-IOV CNI plugin with that deviceID.
