==== Benchmark plan ====
  * Performance test sites
    * http://netboot.me/
    * http://boot.fedoraproject.org/index
    * http://boot.kernel.org/
  * Test env:
    * KVM with different kind of emulated NIC.
      * Direct link.
        * User mode network stack.
        * With TUN/TAP
      * Bridge/NAT with TUN/TAP.
    * Native gPXE.
  * Trace the issue that gPXE download speed slow on KVM.


==== Benchmark result ====

=== KVM-QEMU TAP versus User mode network stack ===

  * Parameters for user mode network stack: ''-net nic -net user,tftp=/tftproot,bootfile=gpxe_script''
  * Parameters for TAP network: ''-net nic -net tap,ifname=tap0,script=no''
  * Default interface for guest OS is Realtek 8139.
  * Get a disk image with 268,435,456 bytes.
