Abstract

See full text

In one set of embodiments, a hypervisor of a host system can receive a packet processing program from a virtual network interface controller (NIC) driver of a virtual machine (VM) running on the hypervisor. The hypervisor can then attach the packet processing program to a first execution point in a physical NIC driver of the hypervisor and to a second execution point in a virtual NIC backend of the hypervisor, where the virtual NIC backend corresponds to a virtual NIC of the VM that originated the packet processing program.
