Assignee: INTEL CORPORATION
Field: Digital communication (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 19:
20. At least one non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon, that if executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
create a first virtual channel for first virtual network function-to-second virtual network function communication and
create a second virtual channel for third virtual network function-to-fourth virtual network function communication,
wherein:
the first virtual network function is to perform one or more of: next destination determination, routing, firewall, Intrusion detection systems (IDS), intrusion prevention systems (IPS), gateway general packet radio service support node (GGSN), serving general packet radio service support node (SGSN), Radio Network Controller (RNC), or Evolved Packet Core (EPC),
the second virtual network function is to perform one or more of: next destination determination, routing, firewall, IDS, IPS, GGSN, SGSN, RNC, or EPC,
in response to a request from the second virtual network function, data in a buffer is to be: decrypted based on a first key, encrypted using a second key, and the encrypted data to be written to a destination buffer associated with the second virtual network function,
a central processing unit (CPU) executes the first virtual network function and the second virtual network function,
the first virtual channel executes on the CPU,
a second CPU executes the third virtual network function and the fourth virtual network function, and, the second virtual channel executes on the second CPU.
