A virtual network provides the networking for hosts and virtual machines that use virtual switches. • A virtual switch: • Directs network traffic between virtual machines and links to external networks. • Combines the bandwidth of multiple network adapters and balances traffic among them. It can also handle physical network interface card (NIC) failover. • Models a physical Ethernet switch: • A virtual machine’s NIC can connect to a port. • Each uplink adapter uses one port.
