+\subsection{Device group}\label{sec:Introduction / Terminology / Device group}
+
+A device group includes one or more virtio devices.
+Each virtio device has a unique group member identifier (group_member_id) within a device group. A valid group member identifier +is a 64-bit value in the range of 0x0 - 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF0. The value 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF refers to all devices in a device group and isn't a valid group member identifier.
+
+For now, the supported device groups are:
+\begin{enumerate}
+\item SR-IOV type - this group includes a virtio PCI SR-IOV physical function (PF) and all its virtual functions (VFs). +For this group type, the PF device has group member identifier of 0. Each VF has a group member identifier matching it's VF number +(according to PCI Express Base Specification, Single Root I/O Virtualization and Sharing chapter). Devices that are members in this group use +the Virtio PCI transport (for more details see \ref{sec:Virtio Transport Options / Virtio Over PCI Bus}).
+\end{enumerate}
