Abstract
A method for network communication across application containers in a computer server system includes executing, by a computer system, a host operating system (OS). The host OS is an instance of an OS. The host OS includes multiple application containers operatively coupled to a memory. The method further includes executing, by the host OS, a virtual network interface for each of the application containers. The method further includes implementing, by the host OS, a remote direct memory access (RDMA) transparently for communications amongst the application containers by utilizing shared memory communications.
