Abstract
Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for transmit side scaling. In examples, transmission side configuration information is received by a host operating system from a guest operating system, where the transmission side scaling configuration information specifies the manner in which data packets transmitted by the host operating system are to be distributed to a network interface card of the host operating system. The transmission side configuration scaling information is implemented in an outbound transmission table of the host operating system. When a data packet is received by the host operating system, the host operating system evaluates the data packet using the outbound transmission table. Based on the evaluation, that data packet is transmitted using a specified transmit queue of the network interface card.
