Which hypervisor technology adds routing capabilities?
A network administrator needs to implement routing capabilities in a hypervisor. Which of the following should the administrator most likely implement?
Community Votes
100% of anonymous learners picked answer C. Votes are pick records left by other test-takers — they are not the verified answer.
Community Insight
The exam tests your ability to distinguish NFV from generic virtual networking and cloud service models; the common trap is choosing VPC or IaaS because they involve virtual networking but do not specifically virtualize a router function.
For implementing routing capabilities inside a hypervisor, Network Function Virtualization (NFV) is the correct choice, as it virtualizes network functions like routing, firewalls, and load balancers. Community consensus overwhelmingly supports NFV over VPC, firewall, and IaaS options.
Choosing VPC (A) is the most likely wrong answer, because a VPC provides isolated virtual networking in cloud environments but is not the technology used to implement routing functions within a hypervisor.

Why the Answer Is Correct
NFV (Network Function Virtualization) decouples network functions such as routing, firewalling, and load balancing from proprietary hardware and runs them as software on a hypervisor. In this scenario, deploying a virtual router would be done through NFV. The comments consistently vote for C, with 100% of the votes selecting NFV, confirming that this is the intended concept.Why the Other Options Are Wrong
- A (VPC) is a virtual private cloud — an isolated cloud environment with virtual networking, but not a technology for implementing routing functions in a hypervisor.
- B (Firewall) is a specific network security function, not a general architectural approach for adding routing capabilities.
- D (IaaS) is a cloud service model that delivers virtualized infrastructure on demand, but it does not directly define how routing functions are implemented inside a hypervisor.
Community Comment Notes
Comment [1] describes NFV as applying automation and orchestration to network management, which aligns with NFV's core goal of virtualizing network services. Comment [2] reinforces the choice with the shorthand "NFC > Network function virtualization," and comment [3] simply states "C NFV (Network Functions Virtualization)," all confirming the correct answer.Official Reference
Exam Strategy
When you see a question about adding network services like routing or firewalling to a hypervisor or commodity hardware, look for the NFV answer. Remember that NFV is about virtualizing network functions, while VPC and IaaS describe cloud deployment and service models, not the virtualized function itself.
