As per developer, it is for performance. If I understood correctly, If we have an Esxi with 10GbE then the VM is using what the ESxi host has , in this case the 10GbE for VM, am I correct?

He thinks using two nic card will give better performance.

Thanks Andrew,
If I understood correctly, If the ESXI host is configured as trunk with10GbE then no VM will not go beyond 10GB , am i correct?
Then one nic will be enough to reach 10gBE?
I have a VM. This VM is on an ESXI host which uses 10GbE physical nic.
The windows network status shows it as 1Gbps. Is it it supposed to show as 10Gbps?
