摘要:
Techniques are presented herein for receipt/transmission of packets to/from a host via a connected input/output (IO) device. In general, a packet is associated with a payload, an inner packet header, and an outer overlay header. The IO device is configured to perform independent offload operations on the inner packet header and the outer overlay header.

A notification from a source host is received at a network interface device that indicates that a data packet is ready for transmission to a destination host. The data packet may be transmitted to the destination host via the network interface device, and a first completion queue event is generated. The first completion queue event may be used as a trigger to re-transmit the data packet to a port mirroring destination via the network interface device. In another example, a network interface device receives a data packet transmitted from a source host to a destination host. A first completion queue event is generated based on the receipt of the packet, and is used as a trigger to re-transmit the data packet to a port mirroring destination via the network interface device.
摘要:
In a data center computing system, multiple nested hypervisors are run, including an outer hypervisor and at least one inner hypervisor running as a virtual machine on top of the outer hypervisor. A guest operating system is run as a virtual machine in the innermost hypervisor. An emulated network interface card device is executed in all hypervisors. An extender component is executed in the outer hypervisor and an extender component is executed in the inner hypervisors such that the extender components in the outer hypervisor and in the inner hypervisors are architecturally cascaded. An interface for the guest operating system is assigned to the emulated network interface card device in each of the outer hypervisor and the inner hypervisors to enable network communications to bypass the outer hypervisor and the inner hypervisors.
