Abstract
Examples described herein include efficient data packet transmission between virtual machines ('VMs') on different hosts. An example method includes generating a large data packet at a source VM and determining a modified maximum segment size for efficient transmission. This modified size replaces the default maximum segment size through a TSO MSS override. Segmentation occurs based on the modified size, and the data segments are transmitted to the destination VM, even if on a different host. Dynamic determination of the modified size optimizes data transmission efficiency and network performance. It accounts for network headers and enables efficient transmission with or without large receiving offload (“LRO”) support. Additionally, non-transitory computer-readable media and servers implementing the method are disclosed. These systems and methods achieve streamlined data transmission, improving network performance and reducing processing overhead.
