
The vCloud API NetworkConnectionSection is a read ‐ only section that lists the network connections
and IP addresses that a vApp has acquired or been assigned at deployment. This section is present only
in a deployed vApp that has a network connection.

The OVF Item element, one of many that apply to the Envelope ’s VirtualHardwareSection , specifies
that the virtual machine’s NIC (resource type 10) is connected to Internet. It also specifies many other
details about the device. For more information about DMTF resource types, visit http://www.dmtf.org .
