Abstract: A port is dynamically added to and removed from a virtual switch. The new port may be allocated when there is sufficient free memory in a pool of memory associated with the virtual switch. When an existing port is deallocated, the portion of the pool of memory allocated to that existing port is freed up. As a result, a virtual machine that requires one or more ports on the virtual switch may be provisioned on a host so long as the pool of memory is sized properly and memory usage on the host is not excessive.

Abstract translation: 一个端口被动态添加到虚拟交换机并从中删除。 当与虚拟交换机相关联的存储池中有足够的可用内存时，可以分配新端口。 当现有端口被释放时，分配给该现有端口的内存池部分被释放。 因此，只要存储器池的大小适当，并且主机上的内存使用量不会过大，则可以在主机上提供需要虚拟交换机上的一个或多个端口的虚拟机。
