Info from http://www.virtualization.info/:
VMware will allow 3rd party vendors to develop their virtual switches for ESX Server virtual network, and Cisco is expected to be the first company announcing such product.
This is great news, as the current vSwitches are lacking in features.
Cisco will be presenting at VMworld 2007. BTW, see you guys there!
