Classification: CPC H  G | IPC G  H

Claim 15:
16. The method of claim 12,
wherein a packet processor offload configuration for the packet processing offload destination is generated based at least in part on the downloaded set of instructions and an application programing interface (“API”) for capturing network function packet processing; and
wherein generating, based at least on the set of instructions and the API, the packet processor offload for the PNIC comprises translating actions included in the set of instructions into instructions and primitives that the PNIC can process;
wherein generating, based at least on the set of instructions and the API, the packet processor offload configuration for the kernel space module of the hypervisor comprises translating the actions included in the set of instructions into instructions and primitives that the hypervisor can process; and
wherein generating, based at least on the set of instructions and the API, the packet processor offload configuration for the user space module of the hypervisor comprises translating the actions included in the set of instructions into instructions and primitives that the hypervisor can process.
