ABSTRACT:
A method for processing packets that includes receiving a first packet for a first target on a host, prior to sending the packet to a Network Layer in the host, determining the first target of the first packet, obtaining a first target ID associated with the first target, obtaining a first virtual network stack (VNS) instance ID using the first target ID, and obtaining a first VNS Instance parameter using the first VNS instance ID, sending the first packet to the Network Layer, and processing the first packet in the Network Layer using the first VNS Instance parameter to obtain a first network processed packet.
