    摘要: A method, computer program product, and data processing system for efficiently discovering and storing path MTU information in a sending host are disclosed. In a preferred embodiment, two path MTU tables are maintained. One path MTU table contains MTU values corresponding to the first-hop routers associated with the sending host. The other path MTU table contains MTU values corresponding to individual destination hosts. When the sending host needs to send information to a destination, it first consults the MTU table associated with individual destination hosts. If an entry for that destination host is found in the table, the sending host uses that MTU value. If not, the sending host consults the MTU table for the first-hop router on the path to the destination host and uses that MTU value. If that MTU value is too high, a new entry is made in the host-specific MTU table for the destination host.

    摘要: An approach is provided in which a hardware accelerated bridge executing on a network adapter receives an ingress data packet. The data packet includes a destination MAC address that corresponds to a virtual machine, which interfaces to a software bridge executing on a hypervisor. The hardware accelerated bridge identifies a software bridge table entry that includes the destination MAC address and a virtual function identifier, which identifies a virtual function corresponding to the software bridge. In turn, the hardware accelerated bridge sends the data packet from the hardware accelerated bridge to the software bridge through the identified virtual function.

    摘要: An approach is provided which a system selects a first virtual function from a plurality of virtual functions executing on a network adapter that includes a memory area. Next, the system allocates, in the memory area, a memory corresponding to the first virtual function. The system then stores one or more translation entries in the allocated memory partition, which are utilized to send data traversing through the first virtual function. As such, the system sends, utilizing one or more of the translation entries, the data packets from the network adapter to one or more destinations. In turn, the system dynamically resizes the memory partition based upon an amount of the memory partition that is utilized to store the one or more translation entries.

    摘要: According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, an approach is provided in which a policy server receives a request for a policy from a requestor. The policy server identifies an initiating virtual machine; the initial virtual machine's corresponding virtual network; and a destination virtual machine. Next, a policy corresponding to sending data from the first virtual machine to the second virtual machine is selected. The policy includes one or more logical references to the virtual network and does not include a physical reference to a physical entity located on a physical network. In turn, a physical path translation corresponding to the selected policy is identified and sent to the requestor.
