Abstract
Examples include a method of switching a packet by a virtual switch by receiving a system call to transmit a packet from a first application running in a first container on a first core, determining a destination for the packet, obtaining a buffer in an application memory space of the destination, copying the packet to the destination application memory space, and writing an entry for the packet to a queue assigned to the destination, the destination queue being in a queue manager. The packet may then be obtained by an entity at the destination.
