Abstract:
This disclosure provides systems and methods for processing packets. A system can include first computing device, a second computing device, and a first packet forwarding device. Each of the first computing device and the second computing device can be communicatively coupled to a respective port of the first packet forwarding device. Each port of the first packet forwarding device can be assigned a unique MAC address. For a first packet received from the first computing device, the first packet forwarding device can be configured to determine that a destination MAC address of the first packet matches the MAC address assigned to the port on which the first packet was received, and to forward the first packet to the second computing device, responsive to the determination. For a second packet received from the second computing device, the first packet forwarding device can be configured to forward the second packet via the port whose MAC address matches a source MAC address of the second packet.

Claim (Index 9):
The system of  claim 1 , wherein the first computing device is further configured to ensure that each packet destined for the second computing device has a destination MAC address that is associated with the port of the first packet forwarding device to which the first computing device is communicatively coupled.
