# SR-IOV network
<!-- Include start SR-IOV intro -->
{abbr}`SR-IOV (Single root I/O virtualization)` is a hardware standard that allows a single network card port to appear as several virtual network interfaces in a virtualized environment.
<!-- Include end SR-IOV intro -->
The `sriov` network type allows to specify presets to use when connecting instances to a parent interface.
In this case, the instance NICs can simply set the `network` option to the network they connect to without knowing any of the underlying configuration details.
