 Accelerated Networking enables single root I/O virtualization (SR-IOV) to a VM, greatly improving its networking performance. This high-performance path bypasses the host from the datapath, reducing latency, jitter, and CPU utilization, for use with the most demanding network workloads on supported VM types. The following picture shows communication between two VMs with and without accelerated networking:

 ## Unexpected shutdown message (Event ID 6008)
 
 When booting up a Windows VM post failover, if you receive an unexpected shutdown message on the recovered VM, it indicates that a VM shutdown state wasn't captured in the recovery point used for failover. This happens when you recover to a point when the VM hadn't been fully shut down.
