8) Consider the following statements: 1 point

Statement 1: In Single-root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV), forwarding is no longer as flexible

because it relies on a layer two switch that is built into the hardware of the NIC.

Statement 2: In Single-root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV), the live VM migration becomes trickier,
because the virtual machine is tied to physical resources of the machine.

Only statement 1 is true

Only statement 2 is true
Both statements are true
