virtual Ethernet

A VLAN (virtual LAN) facilitates high-speed virtual Ethernet communications using memory and the system's processor rather than actual Ethernet cards. Used in Virtual I/O Servers, administrators can dynamically create virtual Ethernet segments or restrict access to VLAN segments. Virtual Ethernets are similar to physical Ethernets in that they support multiple networking protocols.
