Virtual Edition and Supported Hypervisors
Matrix
Each hypervisor manufacturer is described in its own matrix.
Each matrix indicates which versions of Virtual Edition (VE) are supported on that hypervisor and what license
types (production or lab) are available for that VE version.
If you want support for SR-IOV, in addition to using the correct hardware and BIOS settings, you must
configure hypervisor settings before you set up the guests.

L Lab licenseP Production licenses available to support throughput speeds up to 25 Mbps, 200 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 3 Gbps, 5 Gbps or 10 Gbps. Note that highest (10 Gbps) throughput requires SR-IOV. P3 Production licenses available to support throughput speeds up to 200 Mbps, 1 Gbps, 3 Gbps, or 5 Gbps.
P4 Production license available to support throughput speed up to 200 Mbps, 1 Gbps, or 3 Gbps.
P* Throughput speed of your system is determined by your host and guest resource allocation, not by license. † Supports SR-IOV.
‡ Supports TSO. (empty) Not supported.
