Abstract
An information handling system includes a plurality of processors that each includes a cache memory, and a receive side scaling (RSS) indirection table with a plurality of pointers that each points to one of the processors. One or more network interface cards interface with the plurality of processors to receive information from a network. A hypervisor executes on one or more of the processors to support execution of virtual machines and coordinates information received at the network interface cards based upon an association between the information and virtual processors of the virtual machines, the virtual processors having identifiers.
