Enhanced Datapath

Enhanced Datapath is a networking stack mode that provides superior network performance. It is primarily targeted for NFV workloads that require higher performance than regular workloads.

You can configure the N-VDS host switch or vSphere Distributed Switch in NSX-T Data Center in the Enhanced Datapath mode only on an ESXi host. In the Enhanced Datapath mode, you can configure overlay traffic and VLAN traffic.
