A virtual switch executes on a computer system to forward packets to one or more destinations. A method of the disclosure includes receiving, by a processing device executing a virtual network switch, a network packet comprising a header and a payload, identifying, in view of the header, a port of the virtual switch for forwarding the network packet, storing the network packet to a shared memory buffer associated with the port, wherein the shared memory buffer is accessible to a network function, notifying the network function that the network packet is stored to the shared memory buffer; and processing the network packet by the network function.
