o Managed at the switch, not the VM’s
o Best security for a multi tenant environment
o Include the socket port number for creating rules
• Windows Server 2012, you were able to specify both source and destination MAC and IP addresses for IPv4 & IPv6
• State full rules can be unidirectional and provide timeout parameters
Dynamic Load Balancing of Network Traffic
o Windows server 2012 allowed low distribution and failover, but not to load distribution between network cards in a balanced manner
o Windows server 2012 R2 has continuous dynamic load-balancing
Network tracing
o More streamlined
o Contain switch and port configuration information
o Can trace packets to the Hyper-V virtual switch and any forwarding extensions installed
Receive Side Scaling (RSS)
o Supported on the VM network path
o VM’s can sustain a greater network traffic load
o Historically network throughput would bottleneck approaching 10 Gbps due to CPU processing load
o Processing is now spread across multiple cores on the host and multiple cores on the VM
