TLDR
In this article, the authors propose a method to perform packet classification associated with hairpin routing of a first data packet between a first virtual resource and a second virtual resource that are logically defined at the host device.Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method includes performing, at a host device on a first side of a single-hop link, packet classification associated with hairpin routing of a first data packet between a first virtual resource and a second virtual resource that are logically defined at the host device. The first virtual resource can be different than the second virtual resource. The also includes transmitting a second data packet to a network device on a second side of the single-hop link so that packet classification associated with hairpin routing of the second data packet between at least two virtual resources logically defined at the host device is performed at the network device.read more

Methods and apparatus for distributed dynamic network provisioning
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a method for detecting a virtual resource hosted by a host device, selecting a configuration template associated with the virtual resource, and providing a provisioning instruction to a virtual switch module hosted by the host device based on the configuration template.

TL;DR: In this paper, a load balancing algorithm is used to select a vNIC from the VNICs connected or connectable to the virtual switch, based on the rate of processing of previous network packets by each the VNs, which is measured by the size of a network packet queue.
Patent
Method and system for virtual port communications
TL;DR: In this article, a data frame containing a destination identifier in a destination field and payload is modified by inserting a first virtual machine tag therein, which is used for identifying a first logical interface of a first VM on a virtual machine host.
