Claim:
1. A computer-readable device containing a program which, when executed by one or more computer processors, performs an operation for encapsulating a packet for transmission through within a virtualized network, the operation comprising: writing one or more first translation control entries (TCEs) from a client TCE table of a client system to a host TCE table of a host system providing at least a portion of computing resources of the client system, wherein the first TCEs indicate a location within the client system of payload data for to be included within the packet, wherein the client TCE table corresponds to a virtual input/output (I/O) adapter of the client system and the host TCE table corresponds to a physical I/O adapter of the host system; and writing one or more second TCEs to the host TCE table of the host system, wherein the second TCEs indicate a location within the host system of at least one of header and footer information to be included with the payload data within the packet; writing one or more third TCEs to the host TCE table, wherein the third TCEs indicate a location within the client system for corresponding payload data to be sent when a subsequent encapsulated packet is received; and writing one or more fourth TCEs to the host TCE table, wherein the fourth TCEs indicate a location within the host system for at least one of corresponding header and footer information to be sent when the subsequent encapsulated packet is received.
