Abstract
A computing method includes specifying a virtual computer system including at least one virtual or physical compute node, which produces data packets having respective source attributes. At least one Virtual Input-Output Connection (VIOC) that is uniquely associated with the values of the source attributes is defined. A policy specifying an operation to be performed with regard to the VIOC is defined. The virtual computer system is implemented on a physical computer system, which includes at least one physical packet switching element. The physical packet switching element is configured to identify the data packets whose source attributes have the values that are associated with the VIOC and to perform the operation on the identified data packets, so as to enforce the policy on the VIOC.
