Abstract

Providing data to an application running on a segmented virtual machine (VM) is disclosed. Providing data includes opening an interface between the segmented VM and an external data source, transferring data from the external data source to an interface buffer, transferring a first selected amount of data from the interface buffer to a shell VM buffer, transferring a second selected amount of data from the shell VM buffer to a core VM buffer, and providing portions of the data from the core VM buffer to the application in response to read requests from the application.
