A virtual machine instruction processor couples a small, localized embedded processor with a primitive state machine, which acts as a boot/interface function. The seed processor also includes a local random access memory (RAM) for buffering of data and execution and a read only memory (ROM) for storing the TCP/IP stack. The seed processor is connected to a remote virtual machine through communication controllers over a network such that the virtual machine is not co-located with the virtual machine instruction processor. The virtual machine instruction processor executes software local to the instruction processor without a co-located virtual machine.
