Abstract
A computer system has: a virtual machine operating on a physical machine; and a management block operating on the physical machine and managing the virtual machine. The virtual machine has a specific function processing module that performs specific function processing with respect to a packet for transmission and a received packet. The management block has a virtual switch that relays a packet transmitted and received by the virtual machine. The virtual switch has an offload processing block that performs the specific function processing if the specific function processing is offloaded to the management block. If the specific function processing is offloaded from the virtual machine to the management block, the specific function processing module notifies the management block of processing information required for the specific function processing, and the offload processing block executes the specific function processing based on the processing information received from the virtual machine.
