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. A frequency of use of the multicast filtering address is determined and, based on the frequency of use of the multicast filtering address, the multicast filtering address is stored in either a multicast filtering store of the network adapter or a local filtering store of a respective virtual machine.
