The timer will only be triggered if the packets pool is not empty,
and it'll drain off all the cached packets, this is to reduce the
delay to upper layer protocol stack.

Any hints for choosing this as default value? Do we need a property for
user to change this?
This is still under estimation, 300ms -500ms is a good value to adapt
the test, this should be configurable.

This looks wrong, qemu_can_send_packet() is used for nc's peer not nc
itself.
OK.

Need stop/start the timer during vm stop/start to save cpu.
Thanks, do you know where should i add the code?
You may want to look at the vmstate change handler in virtio-net.c.
great, thanks a lot.
