VM is an example of hardware virtualization, if I am not mistaken. OS virtualization is container, right?Sahil– Sahil2024-02-22 10:17:41 +00:00Commented Feb 22, 2024 at 10:17

@pjc50 In case of virtual box software, we can simulate cpu/ram/storage(computer hardware components) etc via software. Does the same thing happen in Network Virtualization with regards to networking hardware components like routers/switches?Sahil– Sahil2024-02-22 10:50:33 +00:00Commented Feb 22, 2024 at 10:50

"Simulate" and "Virtualize" are not quite the same thing; but yes you can get a single physical network interface to pretend to be multiple interfaces, or a switch port to route several virtual networks (VLANs) over one physical cable.pjc50– pjc502024-02-22 11:25:35 +00:00Commented Feb 22, 2024 at 11:25

1@Max ? not sure I understand the question - of course it happens programmatically, each packet comes off the wire and is handed to the top level OS or hypervisor to decide what to do with.pjc50– pjc502024-02-22 13:39:39 +00:00Commented Feb 22, 2024 at 13:39

```
like so
``` -
add language identifier to highlight code
```python
def function(foo):
print(foo)
``` - put returns between paragraphs
- for linebreak add 2 spaces at end
- _italic_ or **bold**
- indent code by 4 spaces
- backtick escapes
`like _so_` - quote by placing > at start of line

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
