Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention generally provide for network virtualization in a multi-network system. The virtual network may abstract multiple, underlying physical networks connecting compute nodes on a multi-node system. A network driver and control system may route traffic on the underlying physical networks according to system and/or application requirements, and a virtual-to-physical network mapping may be controlled by the driver and control system.
