Hyper-V Extensible Switch

New feature Handles network traffic between:
o Virtual machines o The external network o The host operating system

Layer-2 virtual interface Programmatically managed Extensible

NIC = network adapter

Private virtual LAN (PVLAN)

Isolate virtual machines from other virtual machines in your data center. Create community groups of virtual machines that can exchange data packets.

Example PVLAN:

Primary VLAN ID is 2 Secondary VLAN IDs are 4 and 5

How network virtualization works:

Two IP addresses for each virtual machine General Routing Encapsulation (GRE) IP address rewrite Policy management server

Problems solved:
Removes VLAN constraints. Eliminates hierarchical IP address assignment for virtual machines.
