Personal suggestion to Microsoft Virtual Server Development Team

Is it possible to increase the NIC speed on the Guest O/S's to 1Gb?

Look, It's my personal suggestion to Microsoft Virtual Server Development
Team that Pl allow users to use Gigabit LAN in place of Megabit LAN.

I also want Community members to give their feedback's enclosed with this
Article.

Please do one favour for
all.........................................................

You don't understand how the virtual NIC works. Just because the NIC is
listed as a 10/100 NIC does not mean that you're limited to that speed. The
NIC obviously is not a real NIC so there is no hardware limitation as there
would be with a real NIC. You are limited by CPU, memory, disk resources on
the host OS, not by the virtual NIC. I regularly get well over 100 Mbps
with guests.

The NIC speed in the vm is not limited in any way. If your physical NIC
can run at more than 100 Mb then the virtual NIC can also run at more than
100Mb.

The number you see listed is just a number. 100Mb was the common NIC
speed at the time. In Hyper-V guests it says 10GB! (But it only runs at
<100Mb if the physical NIC in 100Mb)

That should be 10Gb, of course, not 10GB!
