With Intel i347 and i350, it equips with Intel Virtualization for Connectivity (VT-c) as part of the Intel Virtualization Technology
suite to improve networking and I/O throughput on a virtualized system (you also need to turn on the CPU Virtualization
in the BIOS menu).
Moreover, 2 pair (LAN7-LAN8, LAN9-LAN10 on the Ethernet module can be configured as LAN Bypass
(Lanner Generation 3) when failure events occur (depending on the type of LAN modules). This feature can be implemented
