Once the virtual machine is created notice the socket filename shows **Success** and
there are **Memory Regions**. At this point the VM and FD.io VPP are connected. Also
-notice **qsz 256**. This system is running an older version of qemu. A queue size of 256
-will affect vhost throughput. The qsz should be 1024. On the web you should be able to
-find ways to install a newer version of qemu or change the queue size.
+notice **qsz 1024**. A queue size of 256 will affect vhost throughput. The qsz should
+be 1024. In QEMU 2.10.0 and libvirt 3.7.0 and later versions this is specified in the
+xml file with the line **<driver rx_queue_size='1024' tx_queue_size='1024'/>** shown above
+and in the example.
