Abstract
Solutions for ARP-based annotations for virtual machines. In some solutions, a hypervisor implemented in a first host might determine that a first process is executing on the first host. The hypervisor can determine first context information for the first process, generate an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) request, and/or transmit a first packet comprising the ARP request and the context information to a central controller as an indication that the first process is executing on the first host.
