What Is a Virtual Network? What Is a Virtual Switch?

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.External World

Virtual Switch Connection Examples

More than one network can coexist on the same virtual switch, or networks can exist on separate virtual switches.
