V-Link is the bus between your Northbridge chip and Southbridge chip.
Basically, that bus should have more bandwidth, than whatever I/O
devices are connected to the Southbridge. That prevents the bus
from being a bottleneck.

AFAIK, VIA uses pretty good busses, with maybe 533MB/sec and the
like. They have several different speeds they use, and the more
modern the VIA chipset, the faster the bus they used.

(See the entry at the bottom of the table.)
