Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide methods, systems, and computer program products that enable secure network communications with logical partitions. A gateway between a physical network adapter and at least one virtual network trunk adapter receives a packet. The gateway tags the packet with an indication of an origin of the packet. The gateway delivers the tagged packet to an intrusion prevention system for intrusion analysis. When the gateway receives the tagged packet from the intrusion prevention system, the gateway forwards the tagged packet according to the indication of origin of the tagged packet.
