Directing data traffic between intra-server virtual machines

摘要

Systems and methods for improving data communications between intra-server virtual machines are described herein. An example method may commence with receiving, from a first virtual machine, a data packet directed to a second virtual machine, routing the data packet via an external routing environment, and receiving the data packet allowed for delivery to the second virtual machine. Based on the receipt, it may be determined that a data flow associated with the data packet is allowed, and a unique identifier of the first virtual machine may be replaced with a first unique identifier and a unique identifier of the second virtual machine may be replaced with a second unique identifier. The first and second unique identifiers may be associated with corresponding interfaces of the intra-server routing module and used to direct the data flow internally within the server between the first virtual machine and the second virtual machine.
