Differentiating Network I/O Control capabilities

You can use NIOC on a distributed switch to configure bandwidth allocation for the traffic that is related to the main vSphere features:

  • Management
  • Fault tolerance
  • iSCSI
  • NFS
  • vSAN
  • vMotion
  • vSphere replication
  • vSphere data protection backup
  • Virtual machine

For the different versions of NIOC, see the Explaining NIOC capabilities section.

Note that NIOC v3 does not support SRV-IO, CoS tagging, and user-defined network resource pools.

Regarding NIOC and other vSphere features, DRS can migrate VMs within a cluster of vSphere hosts to accommodate bandwidth reservations assigned to VM ports.
