A computerized method includes providing a first virtual machine on first server. With the first virtual machine, communicating a network traffic to a second virtual machine. With a virtual function (VF) on a physical network interface controller (pNIC) of the second server, assigning to the VLAN to a specified VF. A data packet is sent out of the pNIC towards a Top-of-rack (TOR) switch. The method sends the data packet to a second TOR switch. With the second TOR switch, sending the data packet towards the pNIC based on a destination of the second virtual machine's Media Access Control (MAC) address.

Methods and systems for virtual top-of-rack implementation

Systems and methods for supporting dual-port virtual router in a high performance computing environment. In accordance with an embodiment, a dual port router abstraction can provide a simple way for enabling subnet-to-subnet router functionality to be defined based on a switch hardware implementation. A virtual dual-port router can logically be connected outside a corresponding switch port. This virtual dual-port router can provide an InfiniBand specification compliant view to a standard management entity, such as a Subnet Manager. In accordance with an embodiment, a dual-ported router model implies that different subnets can be connected in a way where each subnet fully controls the forwarding of packets as well as address mappings in the ingress path to the subnet.
