Method and apparatus for accelerating VM-to-VM network traffic using CPU cache

摘要: Methods and apparatus for accelerating VM-to-VM Network Traffic using CPU cache. A virtual queue manager (VQM) manages data that is to be kept in VM-VM shared buffers The VQM stores a list of allow entries identifying transfers between VMs may use cache “fast-path” forwarding. Packets are sent from the forwarding destination VMs. Indicia packets (e.g., tag or header) inspected determine whether packet forwarded via fast path switch. determines VM already domain while concurrently coordinating with external memory, also ensures coherency which memory.
