ABSTRACT:
A system includes a first and a second network component, and a bridge. The bridge, which resides a Media Access Control (MAC) layer of a host, includes a bridge component, a first virtual network interface card (VNIC) and a second VNIC, wherein the first VNIC is associated with the first network component and the second VNIC is associated with the second network component. Further, the bridge component is configured to send packets received from the first network component to the second network component and to send packets received from the second network component to the first network component.
