Then run `make install` to build and install the library.
For default install without IVSHMEM:
- `make install T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc`
+ `make install T=x86_64-native-linuxapp-gcc DESTDIR=install`
To include IVSHMEM (shared memory):
- `make install T=x86_64-ivshmem-linuxapp-gcc`
+ `make install T=x86_64-ivshmem-linuxapp-gcc DESTDIR=install`

+8. QoS usage example
+
+ Assuming you have a vhost-user port transmitting traffic consisting of
+ packets of size 64 bytes, the following command would limit the egress
+ transmission rate of the port to ~1,000,000 packets per second:
+
+ `ovs-vsctl set port vhost-user0 qos=@newqos -- --id=@newqos create qos
+ type=egress-policer other-config:cir=46000000 other-config:cbs=2048`
+
+ To examine the QoS configuration of the port:
+
+ `ovs-appctl -t ovs-vswitchd qos/show vhost-user0`
+
+ To clear the QoS configuration from the port and ovsdb use the following:
+
+ `ovs-vsctl destroy QoS vhost-user0 -- clear Port vhost-user0 qos`
+
+ For more details regarding egress-policer parameters please refer to the
+ vswitch.xml.

Performance Tuning:
-------------------
-device virtio-net-pci,mac=00:00:00:00:00:02,netdev=mynet2,mq=on,vectors=$v
```
+ If one wishes to use multiple queues for an interface in the guest, the
+ driver in the guest operating system must be configured to do so. It is
+ recommended that the number of queues configured be equal to '$q'.
+
+ For example, this can be done for the Linux kernel virtio-net driver with:
+
+ ```
+ ethtool -L <DEV> combined <$q>
+ ```
+
+ A note on the command above:
+
+ `-L`: Changes the numbers of channels of the specified network device
+
+ `combined`: Changes the number of multi-purpose channels.
