A VLAN (virtual LAN) facilitates high-speed virtual
Ethernet communications
using memory and the system's processor rather than actual Ethernet cards. Used
in Virtual I/O Servers, administrators can
dynamically create virtual Ethernet segments or restrict access to VLAN
segments. Virtual Ethernets are similar to physical Ethernets in that they
support multiple networking protocols.

Shared Ethernet Adapters With Shared Ethernet Adapters on the Virtual I/O Server logical partition, virtual Ethernet adapters on client logical partitions can send and receive outside network traffic.
Virtual Ethernet Tunneling A virtual Ethernet tunnel uses packet encapsulation, Ethernet bridging, and IPSec encryption to tunnel a subnet from one host to another host over a public network (generally, the Internet).
What is virtual storage? z/OS uses both types of physical storage (central and auxiliary) to enable another kind of storage called virtual storage.
