Abstract
Examples may include a host computing platform having a multi-core processor capable of supporting a host operating system and a plurality of virtual machines (VMs). Support may include processing elements or cores for the multi-core processor being capable of separately supporting individual VMs. The individual VMs may be capable of executing separate applications used to process packets for a service chain flow. In some examples, techniques for routing the packets for the service chain flow between the individual VMs may include distributing at least some switch logic between the individual VMs.
