+Compsable SR-IOV device
+=======================
+
+SR-IOV (Single Root I/O Virtualization) is an optional extended capability of a
+PCI Express device. It allows a single physical function (PF) to appear as
+multiple virtual functions (VFs) for the main purpose of eliminating software
+overhead in I/O from virtual machines.
+
+There are devices with predefined SR-IOV configurations, but it is also possible
+to compose an SR-IOV device yourself. Composing an SR-IOV device is currently
+only supported by virtio-net-pci.
+
+Users can configure an SR-IOV-capable virtio-net device by adding
+virtio-net-pci functions to a bus. Below is a command line example:
+
+.. code-block:: shell
+
+    -netdev user,id=n -netdev user,id=o
+    -netdev user,id=p -netdev user,id=q
+    -device pcie-root-port,id=b
+    -device virtio-net-pci,bus=b,addr=0x0.0x3,netdev=q,sriov-pf=f
+    -device virtio-net-pci,bus=b,addr=0x0.0x2,netdev=p,sriov-pf=f
+    -device virtio-net-pci,bus=b,addr=0x0.0x1,netdev=o,sriov-pf=f
+    -device virtio-net-pci,bus=b,addr=0x0.0x0,netdev=n,id=f
+
+The VFs specify the paired PF with ``sriov-pf`` property. The PF must be
+added after all VFs. It is the user's responsibility to ensure that VFs have
+function numbers larger than one of the PF, and that the function numbers
+have a consistent stride. Both the PF and VFs are ARI-capable so you can have
+255 VFs at maximum.
+
+You may also need to perform additional steps to activate the SR-IOV feature on
+your guest. For Linux, refer to [1]_.
