AT LEAST ONE USER SPACE RESIDENT INTERFACE BETWEEN AT LEAST ONE USER SPACE RESIDENT VIRTUAL APPLIANCE AND AT LEAST ONE VIRTUAL DATA PLANE

摘要

In an embodiment, circuitry may be provided that may execute at least one interface process in a user space of a host. The host, in operation, also may have a kernel space. The at least one process may provide at least one interface, at least in part, between at least one virtual appliance and at least one virtual data plane. The at least one virtual data plane may facilitate communication between at least one physical device and the at least one virtual appliance via the at least one interface. The at least one physical device may appear to the at least one virtual appliance, when the at least one virtual appliance communicates with the at least one physical device via the at least one interface, as at least one local device. The at least one virtual appliance and the at least one interface may be resident in the user space.
