Abstract
In general, techniques are described for enhancing communication between kernel modules operating in different network stacks within the kernel space of the same network device. An IPVLAN driver is configured to establish an endpoint in a first and second kernel module, wherein each kernel module executes in a different networking stack in the same kernel space. The endpoint in the first kernel module is associated with an interface of the first module. Selected packets are transferred from the second kernel module to the first kernel module via the interface of the first module.
