  • Input/output virtualization through offload techniques
    Patent number: 7941812
    Abstract: A computer apparatus provides support multiple virtual computing machines. In accordance with one embodiment, the computer apparatus includes a platform manager, a virtual machine manager (VMM) driver of the platform manager, a TCP/IP stack of the platform manager, a guest operating system supported by the platform manager, and a TCP offload pseudo driver module of the guest operating system. The VMM driver is configured to transfer data between a top of the TCP/IP stack and the TCP offload pseudo driver module without changing a level of abstraction of the data. In accordance with another embodiment, the VMM driver is configured to transfer data between a top of a SCSI services stack and a SCSI offload pseudo driver module without changing a level of abstraction of the data. Other embodiments, aspects, and features are also disclosed.
