ABSTRACT:
In general, the invention relates to a method for routing a packet. The method includes receiving the packet in a network interface card (NIC), classifying the packet, placing the packet in a receive ring of the NIC, sending the packet to a virtual NIC associated with the receive ring, sending the packet to a first container associated with the virtual NIC, and routing the packet to a packet destination using the first container.
