As Microsoft states:’

This poster for VMM in System Center 2012 SP1 can help you: Plan your VMM networks using a logical view of VM networks, logical networks, and logical switches using a variety of configurations including VLAN-based configuration, no isolation, network virtualization, external networks, and with no virtual networking. Configure networking in VMM using configuration steps by roles including fabric administrators, tenant administrators, or by any user. Understand the network object model with diagrams of objects showing the relationships between objects. Extend VMM with options including using a vendor network-management server with extensions, connect a VM network to other networks by configuring the VM network with a gateway, and load-balance requests to VMs that make up a VMM service tier by adding a load balancer to VMM.
