Abstract
Techniques for managing packets in an input/output virtualization (IOV) capable computing environment are described herein. One aspect comprises receiving, at one or more transceivers comprising an input/output capable adapter, a packet addressed to an input/output virtualization capable adapter destination, and forwarding the packet to a virtual router; applying, by a processor circuit coupled to the one or more transceivers, one or more packet management policies to the packet via the virtual router; routing the packet via the virtual router to the input/output virtualization capable adapter destination; and transmitting the packet to the input/output virtualization capable adapter destination via an input/output virtualization capable adapter architecture. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

45. An apparatus comprising:
-
a memory; and logic, at least a portion of the logic comprised in circuitry coupled to the memory, the logic to; determine a destination address of a packet received at a virtual router; modify the destination address of the packet to correspond with a destination within an input/output (I/O) virtualization capable adapter; and forward the packet to an I/O virtualization capable adapter architecture for transmission to the destination within the I/O virtualization capable adapter. - View Dependent Claims (46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53)

54. One or more computer-readable media to store instructions that when executed by a processor circuit causes the processor circuit to:
-
determine a destination address of a packet received at a virtual router; modify the destination address of the packet to correspond with a destination within an input/output (I/O) virtualization capable adapter; and forward the packet to an I/O virtualization capable adapter architecture for transmission to the destination within the I/O virtualization capable adapter. - View Dependent Claims (55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62)
