A method, comprising:
- confirming a first virtual machine identifier (VMID) associated with a first virtual machine, wherein the first VMID is converted from a Media Access Control (MAC) destination address;
- and
- removing the first VMID and a second VMID assigned to a second virtual machine from a packet.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processor configured to execute instructions stored in the memory to:
- confirm a first virtual machine identifier (VMID) associated with a first virtual machine, wherein the first VMID is converted from a Media Access Control (MAC) destination address;
- and
- remove the first VMID and a second VMID assigned to a second virtual machine from a packet.
A non-transitory computer readable medium configured to store instructions operable to cause one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
- confirming a first virtual machine identifier (VMID) associated with a first virtual machine, wherein the first VMID is converted from a Media Access Control (MAC) destination address;
- and
- removing the first VMID and a second VMID assigned to a second virtual machine from a packet.
