Abstract
Certain embodiments described herein are generally directed to configuring a generic channel for exchanging information between a hypervisor and a virtual machine run by the hypervisor that resides on a host machine. In some embodiments, the generic channel represents a network or communication path enabled by a logical switch that connects a HyperBus running on the hypervisor and a node agent running on the virtual machine. In some embodiments, network traffic handled by the generic channel is isolated from incoming and outgoing network traffic between the virtual machine and one or more other virtual machines or hosts.
