Abstract
A technique for operating a virtual switch includes determining network connection requirements for virtual machines controlled by a virtual machine monitor. Resources available, for processing data traffic of the virtual machines, are also determined. Finally, based on the network connection requirements and the resources available, a port of a virtual switch is selected to operate as a virtual Ethernet bridge or a virtual Ethernet port aggregator.
