Abstract
An interface module in a user space intercepts a call from a first virtual process, the call to cause communication of data from the first virtual process to a second virtual process. The interface module accesses mapping information to redirect the communication of data to the second virtual process without passing through the protocol stack of a kernel, the mapping information comprising entries each including network addresses used in identifying a respective connection between corresponding virtual processes.
