Claim 10:
11. A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing a program which when executed by at least one processing unit schedules networking threads associated with a data compute node (DCN) executing at a host computer, the program comprising sets of instructions for:
when a virtual networking device is instantiated for the DCN, assigning the virtual networking device to a particular non-uniform memory access (NUMA) node of a plurality of NUMA nodes associated with the DCN;
based on the assignment of the virtual networking device to the particular NUMA node:
assigning networking threads associated with the DCN to the same particular NUMA node; and
providing information to the DCN regarding the particular NUMA node in order for the DCN to assign a thread associated with an application executing on the DCN to the same particular NUMA node.
