20130061047 | SECURE AND EFFICIENT OFFLOADING OF NETWORK POLICIES TO NETWORK INTERFACE CARDS - Techniques for efficient and secure implementation of network policies in a network interface controller (NIC) in a host computing device operating a virtualized computing environment. In some embodiments, the NIC may process and forward packets directly to their destinations, bypassing a parent partition of the host computing device. In particular, in some embodiments, the NIC may store network policy information to process and forward packets directly to a virtual machine (VM). If the NIC is unable to process a packet, then the NIC may forward the packet to the parent partition. In some embodiments, the NIC may use an encapsulation protocol to transmit address information in packet headers. In some embodiments, this address information may be communicated by the MC to the parent partition via a secure channel. The NIC may also obtain, and decrypt, encrypted addresses from the VMs for routing packets, bypassing the parent partition. | 03-07-2013 |
20130254766 | OFFLOADING PACKET PROCESSING FOR NETWORKING DEVICE VIRTUALIZATION - The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for offloading packet processing for networking device virtualization.

The physical NIC receives and processes a network packet associated with the virtual machine. Processing the network packet includes the physical NIC comparing the network packet with the flow table(s) at the physical NIC. When the network packet matches with a flow in the flow table(s) at the physical NIC, the physical NIC performs an action on the network packet based on the matching flow. Alternatively, when the network packet does not match with a flow in the flow table(s) at the physical NIC, the physical NIC passes the network packet to the host partition for processing against the rule set(s). | 09-26-2013 |
