In the event you’re interested in an idea of how much latency the use of in-kernel hypervisor firewalling (such as that offered by VMware NSX) adds, have a look at this article by Sean Howard. Greg Schulz—who normally tends to focus on storage-related topics—has a post providing an overview of the Ubuntu 16.04 “Xenial Xerus” release.
