Basically, the virtual link speed doesn't matter at all for any of the vNIC types. The e1000(e) can exceed 1Gbps or even 10Gbps for that matter (of course if your physical links allow this or e.g. on the same host), the vmxnet3 can also well exceed it's virtual 10Gbps link speed. However, ramping up bandwidth like that on the e1000(e) will prove very difficult and can only be achieved at the expense of many additional CPU cycles, it's just very inefficient compared to the vmxnet3.

This is good question - i never come across in the community WSAv with 10GB - Do you have virtual environment which can support 10GB connection or interface ?
I have seen good deployment Appliance with 10GB, not virtual, as per the document no where mentioned or i come across this.
If you have dedicated interface allocated in the Virtual enviroment can be achived i guess.
But i look other mates comments to learn new.

If you could switch them to the VMXNET3, you could possibly get to 10G, but I don't think switching the NICS is supported.
