Abstract
Methods and systems for managing multiple transmit queues of a networking device of a host machine in a virtual machine system. The networking device includes multiple transmit queues that are used by multiple guests of the virtual machine system for the transmission of packets in a data communication. A hypervisor of the virtual machine system manages the switching from one or more transmit queues (i.e., old transmit queues) to one or more other queues (i.e., new transmit queues) by managing a flow of packets in the virtual machine system to maintain a proper sequence of packets and avoid a need to re-order the transmitted packets at a destination.
