Abstract
The technology disclosed herein enables segregation of network traffic on an application basis. In a particular embodiment, a method is performed in a virtual network interface for a first guest Operating System (OS) executing on a host and includes receiving guest data packets from the first guest OS. The method further includes associating the guest data packets with respective ones of a plurality of applications executing within the first guest OS and separating the guest data packets into respective ones of a plurality of application port interfaces each corresponding to at least one of the plurality of applications. The method also includes passing the guest data packets to a host network interface using the plurality of application port interfaces.
