Abstract:
A process and/or apparatus capable of facilitating network communication via a directly accessible network interface controller (“NIC”) in a virtualized environment is disclosed. The process, in some embodiments, is able to receive a packet stream traveling from a virtual machine (“VM”) to a direct-access configured NIC (“DCN”). After forwarding from an embedded switch (“eSwitch”) of the DCN to a virtual switch (“vSwitch”) residing in a hypervisor or VM monitor in accordance with at least a portion of content of the packet stream, a processed packet stream is generated by the hypervisor in response to the packet stream. The processed packet stream is subsequently transmitted from the vSwitch to the eSwitch for facilitating the processed packet stream to reach its destination.

Claim (Index 6):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein forwarding the first packet stream from the eSwitch of the DCN to the vSwitch includes transmitting at least a portion of the first packet stream to the hypervisor containing an overlay manager.
