摘要: Methods and systems described herein facilitate offload processing of encapsulated packets. A virtualization manager enables a virtual switch to be associated with overlay network. machine includes NIC that is connected the network via switch. The configured encapsulate an outgoing packet sent from also de-encapsulate incoming machine. physical calculate at least one inner checksum based on verify included in de-encapsulated packet.
