ABSTRACT:
A method for receiving incoming packets associated with a virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) includes receiving an incoming packet, classifying the incoming packet based on a VLAN tag embedded in the incoming packet, wherein the VLAN tag corresponds to the VLAN, and passing the incoming packet to a virtual network interface card (NIC) based on the VLAN tag.
