Vm interface speed is shown as 10G when I have only 1G Adapter in my host
Can anyone clarify me how I could see VM interface speed as 10G when I have only 1G Adapter in my host? I am using VMXNET3 driver in my virtual machine.

Thanks for your comments. Now i understood that it shows the speed of the interface between the VM and the vswitch inside ESXI. Is there any document from VMWARE/VMXNET3 to explaing this behaviour?
Yes it's in the VMware vSphere documentation.

VMware
VMware, a software company founded in 1998, was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies. VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture. Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.

You still get 10GbE between hosts on same ESXi
If you connect 10 computers to 128kbps ISDN line do they all magically drop the speed of LAN connection?
