Original Abstract Submitted
Systems and methods for networking overhead reduction for encrypted virtual machines are disclosed. A method may include receiving, by a virtual machine running on a host computer system, a request to send a data packet to a specified recipient via a network; identifying a network connection to the specified recipient; determining whether the identified network connection is associated with an encryption option indicating data encryption; responsive to determining that the identified network connection is associated with the encryption option, storing the data packet in a shared memory buffer of the host computer system; and notifying an input/output (I/O) device driver of an address of the shared memory buffer.
