Microsegmentation like that provided by vendors CISCO and VMware state that traditional perimeter defenses akin to medieval castles walls no longer work. Microsegmentation brings three important things to the table: 1) support for network virtualization; 2) support for software defined networking; and 3) automation. Nathaniel Crocker.

In the virtualization space, it’s extremely common to want to use multiple physical network connections in your hypervisor hosts to support guest (virtual machine) traffic. Because of these default behaviors, users in VMware environments simply connect multiple links to their hosts and off they go.
