Why do we need virtual interface in UVM?

Hello,

Can someone tell me why do we need virtual interfaces in UVM. Basically I would like to understand what is that we can’t do with interfaces which we can do with virtual interfaces ?

Can someone explain the background for the introduction of virtual interface UVM?

Thanks,
Sreedhar.
