+        This example demonstrates adding an Ethernet connection for
+        physical function (PF) <emphasis>ens4</emphasis> and
+        configuring 3 SR-IOV virtual functions (VFs) on it. The first
+        VF is configured with MAC address 00:11:22:33:44:55 and VLAN
+        10, the second one has the <emphasis>trust</emphasis> and
+        <emphasis>spoof-check</emphasis> features respectively enabled
+        and disabled. VF number 2 has a maximux transmission rate of
+        20Mbps. The kernel is instructed to not automatically
+        instantiate a network interface for the VFs.
