…with Mellanox ConnectX playing cards. However I assume what I am asking is on the generic degree, anyway. I am in IT infrastructure, however not a community skilled.

Anyway, these are the pages I primarily acquired my info from:

https://docs.nvidia.com/networking/show/MLNXOFEDv471001/OVS+Offload+Utilizing+ASAP2+Direct

https://infohub.delltechnologies.com/l/architecture-guide-ready-architecture-for-red-hat-openstack-platform-version-16-1-flex-2/sr-iov-ovs-hardware-offload-with-vf-lag

My understanding is: VF LAG means two bodily ports / bodily features on a card are getting bonded. After which digital features of that bonded interface are handed via to VMs.

And utilizing SR-IOV, the kernel offloads that stuff to the NIC.

Is my understanding right?
