    Abstract: The disclosure provides an approach for segmenting a user datagram protocol (UDP) packets. A method includes generating the UDP packet, containing UDP data, at a virtual computing instance (VCI) running on a host machine; sending the UDP packet from the VCI to a hypervisor running on the host machine; after sending the UDP packet to the hypervisor, segmenting the UDP packet into a plurality of UDP segments, wherein each of the plurality of UDP segments includes a portion of the UDP data and a UDP header; and transmitting the plurality of UDP segments, over a network, to a destination of the UDP packet.

    Abstract: Example methods and computer systems are provided for filter-based packet handling at a virtual network adapter. The method may comprise: receiving an ingress packet destined for the virtualized computing instance that is supported by the host and connected to the virtual network adapter; and matching the ingress packet to one of multiple filters configured for the virtual network adapter. The multiple filters may include a first filter specifying one or more first packet characteristics and a second filter specifying one or more second packet characteristics. The method may also comprise: in response to matching the ingress packet to the first filter, assigning the ingress packet to a first packet queue; and in response to matching the ingress packet to the second filter, assigning the ingress packet to a second packet queue.
