Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and software to offload an eXpress Data Path (XDP) operation from a virtual machine to the hypervisor or smart network interface on the host. In one implementation, a method includes, in a virtual machine on a host, passing an XDP configuration for the virtual machine to a hypervisor on the host. The method further includes, in the hypervisor initiating a process to implement the XDP configuration, identifying a packet directed to the virtual machine, and applying the process to the packet to determine an action for the packet.
