Network Statistics
Reservation and limit are supported on DVS
(Distributed Virtual Switch) or “opaque” (NSX) switch types only; they are not
supported on the default VSS switch type. Between
reservation
and
limit
, bandwidth is allocated on a
share-based system, which is not meaningful to expose to a guest OS.
