Environmental benefits come into play with virtualization avoiding the requirement to otherwise deploy multiple instances of the standalone appliance to meet the needs of multiple groups . Like the previous example , Hardware MAC learning offsets any performance hit that the control plane might otherwise incur through this learning process .
