Abstract

Examples may include a computing platform having a host driver to get a packet descriptor of a received packet stored in a receive queue and to modify the packet descriptor from a first format to a second format. The computing platform also includes a guest virtual machine including a guest driver coupled to the host driver, the guest driver to receive the modified packet descriptor and to read a packet buffer stored in the receive queue using the modified packet descriptor, the packet buffer corresponding to the packet descriptor.
