Patent ID: 8572605

Claim:
A method of stitching a proxied connection between a first core virtual machine (VM) and a second core VM, including: establishing the proxied connection between the first core VM and the second core VM, the proxied connection connecting the first core VM and the second core VM via a first shell VM and a second shell VM; determining that a stitched connection should be generated between the first core VM and the second core VM, including: publishing a first connection description from the first core VM and a second connection description from the second core VM; and determining that a source associated with the first connection description corresponds to a destination associated with the second connection description, and a destination associated with the first connection description corresponds to a source associated with the second connection description; and generating the stitched connection between the first core VM and the second core VM for replacing the proxied connection, wherein information is transferred over the stitched connection instead of the proxied connection, thereby bypassing the first shell VM and the second shell VM.
