Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to enhanced virtual function capabilities in a virtualized network environment. In general, devices may comprise physical and virtualized resources. The physical resources may comprise at least a network adaptor that may handle incoming data from a network and outgoing data to the network. The virtualized resources may comprise at least one virtual machine (VM) and a corresponding interface. The corresponding interface may be one of a physical interface, a virtual interface or a “super” virtual interface. The physical interface may provide a first set of capabilities allowing the VM to access (e.g., control) at least the network adaptor. The virtual interface may provide a second set of capabilities that is a subset of the first set. The super virtual interface may provide a third set of capabilities including the second set of capabilities and at least one additional capability from the first set of capabilities.

Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for improving the efficiency of exchanging packets among multiple VMs within a communications server, and between the communications server and other devices in a communications system. An apparatus may include a virtual switch to analyze contents of at least one packet of a set of packets to be exchanged between endpoint devices through a network, and to correlate the contents to a pathway to extend through one or more of the VMs that are each configured as virtual servers of multiple virtual servers; and an interface control component to select at least one virtual network interface of each of the one or more virtual servers along the pathway to operate in a polling mode, and to select a virtual network interface of at least one virtual server of the multiple virtual servers not along the pathway to operate in a non-polling mode.

Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for improving the efficiency of exchanging packets between pairs of VMs within a communications server. An apparatus may include a processor component; a network interface to couple the processor component to a network; a virtual switch to analyze contents of at least one packet of a set of packets to be exchanged between endpoint devices through the network and the communications server, and to route the set of packets through one or more virtual servers of multiple virtual servers based on the contents; and a transfer component of a first virtual server of the multiple virtual servers to determine whether to route the set of packets to the virtual switch or to transfer the set of packets to a second virtual server of the multiple virtual servers in a manner that bypasses the virtual switch based on a routing rule.
