Embodiment Construction
[0011] Virtual switch scalability is discussed here. Extensible virtual switches allow virtual machines to communicate with each other and, optionally, with other physical devices over a network. The extensible virtual switch includes extensibility protocol bindings and miniport drivers, which allow different extensions to be added to the extensible virtual switch and thus expand the functionality of the extensible virtual switch. The extension is loaded on the miniport driver, which essentially makes the extension's lifetime dependent on the extensible virtual switch's lifetime.
[0012] figure 1 is a block diagram illustrating an example system 100 that enables virtual switch scalability in accordance with one or more embodiments. System 100 includes computing device 102 coupled to network 104 . Network 104 can be a variety of different networks, including the Internet, local area network (LAN), public telephone network, intranet, personal area network (PAN), storage...
