From physical we are moving to virtual now – so I have created a small demo of two VMs on two separate Hyper-V hosts (connected to same switch with 4 physical NICs each). Each VM has only one Virtual Network Adapter.

As we can see we are getting 1 gigabit throughput from first to second VM. We can alo see the utilization of physical NICs on our Hyper-V hosts (transfer is using only one NIC).
