A vSphere Administrator has been tasked to reduce latency and increase throughput for workloads in a Windows Server 2012 R2 VM that is running a highly demanding application.
Which virtual network adapter type will help the Administrator support Windows Receive Side Scaling?
VMXNET 3
A paravirtualized NIC designed for performance. VMXNET 3 offers all the features available in VMXNET 2 and adds several new features, such as multiqueue support (also known as Receive Side Scaling in Windows), IPv6 offloads, and MSI/MSI-X interrupt delivery. VMXNET 3 is not related to VMXNET or VMXNET 2.
