Abstract
Chaining virtual network functions is provided using a remote direct memory access in software-defined data centers in order to minimize latency. A data packet is processed using a virtual network function of the computer. The data packet is inserted into a shared memory pool for processing via remote direct memory access by a remote computer according to a network function of the remote computer that corresponds to the network function of the computer. The data packet is sent to a target destination device via a network in response to the remote computer marking the data packet as processed in the shared memory pool.
