In one embodiment a method and apparatus that support virtual services including virtual network interface control functionality for virtual machines running on a server. A method includes receiving a packet at a network interface card from a data communication network, classifying, within the network interface card, the packet to select one of multiple flow tables to which the packet should be assigned to obtain a selected flow table, the classifying being based, at least, on a logical interface with which the packet is associated, processing the packet based on information stored in the selected flow table, and passing the packet to a virtual machine operating on a computer to which the network interface card is communicatively connected, the virtual machine being associated with the logical interface. |
