Abstract
Various systems, processes, and products may be used to filter multicast messages in virtual environments. In one implementation, a multicast filtering address is received by a network adapter from at least one of a number of virtual machines. An amount of filtering data is determined corresponding to the at least one virtual machine and, based on the amount of the filtering data corresponding to the at least one virtual machine, the multicast filtering address is stored in either a multicast filtering store of the network adapter or a local filtering store of the at least one virtual machine.
