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.
