Abstract
Described is an aggregation device comprising a plurality of virtual network interface cards (vNICs) and an input/output (I/O) processing complex. The vNICs are in communication with a plurality of processing devices. Each processing device has at least one virtual machine (VM). The I/O processing complex is between the vNICs and at least one physical NIC. The I/O processing complex includes at least one proxy NIC and a virtual switch. The virtual switch exchanges data with a processing device of the plurality of processing devices via a communication path established by a vNIC of the plurality of vNICs between the at least one VM and at least one proxy NIC.
