Abstract
In some embodiments, a computing system includes a communication interface; and a processor that is coupled to the communication interface. In some embodiments, least one of the communication interface or the processor receives a network packet from the network via a network adapter port; encapsulates the received network packet with a tunnel header, wherein the tunnel header comprises network identifier information identifying the network adapter port; addresses, based on the network identifier information, an outer Internet protocol (IP) header of the encapsulated network packet with an outer IP address corresponding to a network function in a first computing device; and sends the encapsulated network packet toward the network function identified by the outer IP address.
