Abstract:
Forwarding Ethernet packets is disclosed, including: receiving an incoming packet; determining a value based at least in part on performing a hash operation on at least a portion of a destination Internet Protocol (IP) address included in the incoming packet; comparing the value against a pre-established look-up table to determine whether a corresponding index value is found, wherein the pre-established look-up table stores index values and corresponding data sets to respective ones of the index values; determining a destination media access control (MAC) address associated with the incoming packet based at least in part on whether the corresponding index value is found in the pre-established look-up table; and forwarding the incoming packet to a virtual machine associated with the determined destination MAC address.

Claim (Index 17):
The method of  claim 16 , wherein determining the destination MAC address associated with the incoming packet based at least in part on whether the value is found in the pre-established look-up table comprises:\n determining whether the value is found in the set of MAC addresses corresponding to the value; and in response to determining that the value is found in the set of MAC addresses corresponding to the value, selecting the MAC address from among the set of MAC addresses corresponding to the value and perform a MAC address translation on the incoming packet.
