Greg first gives an overview of the major networking enhancements and how they support the changes coming in Windows Server 2012 R2.

The team then discusses forwarding extensions and centralized network management before they move to the first demo at [11:30] where they show the different VMM networking components, such as logical networks and switches. Next Greg talks about the networking isolation enhancements and how they can benefit large organizations and hosters. At [18:20] the team looks at a demo of a virtualized NVGRE gateway being deployed through VMM, and finally a network being deployed by a self-service user through the Windows Azure Pack.
