Abstract: A packet processing method in a computing system is disclosed. The computing system comprises a host, wherein at least one network interface card is connected to the host. The network interface card includes switching equipment and at least two network ports. A first network port is corresponding to at least one physical function PF and multiple virtual functions VFs. At least one VF of the first network port is provided for a first virtual machine on the host in a passthrough manner. The first virtual machine sends a data packet from the VF that is connected to the first virtual machine. Switching equipment of the first network port forwards the data packet according to a destination MAC address of the data packet, and sends the data packet to a virtual bridge on VMM of the host. The VMM provides abundant network function processing for the data packet.

Abstract: A packet processing method in a cloud computing system is disclosed. The cloud computing system includes a host and a cloud management platform. At least one network interface card is connected to the host. The at least one network interface card includes at least three network ports. A first virtual machine running on the host sends a data packet to a second network port through a first network port using a network cable between the first and the second network port. The second network port sends the data packet to a virtual machine monitor (VMM) of the host for performing network function processing. The data packet is then sent to a second virtual machine via a third network port of the host after the network function processing.
