Abstract
A virtual address of a destination of a packet is parsed into a set of virtual address components. A subset of the set of virtual address components is tokenized into a token. The token is converted into at least a portion of a hostname. A look-up of a real network address corresponding to the hostname is performed. The packet is caused to be transmitted to the real network address, wherein the real network address corresponds to a host machine on a physical network, the receiving virtual entity operating on the host machine.
