This similarity allows the guest to use standard drivers and discovery mechanisms. </p> + +<p>The purpose of virtio and this specification is that virtual environments and guests should have a straightforward, efficient, standard and extensible mechanism for virtual devices, rather than boutique per-environment or per-OS mechanisms.</p> +</div> + +<div> +<h3>Contributions</h3> +<p>As stated in this repository's <a href="https://github.com/oasis-tcs/virtio-spec/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md">CONTRIBUTING file</a>, contributors to this repository are expected to be Members of the OASIS virtio TC, for any substantive change requests.
