Multiple logical and/or physical networks are recommended for segmenting and isolating certain workloads. Some common network traffic that are usually segmented include:

● Host management

● Live Migration communication

● Storage connectivity and communication if using iSCSI or shared storage presentation such as Cluster Shared Volume(s) commonly referred to as a CSV

● WSFC-level communication

● VM communication

For example, iSCSI traffic should be isolated to reduce broadcast traffic, improve security, and allow for QoS prioritization to improve and add consistency to storage traffic performance.
