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 12):
The system of  claim 11 , further comprising a physical input and output (\u201cI/O\u201d) port coupled to the DCN for connecting to a peripheral component interconnect express (\u201cPCIe\u201d) for external network connections.
