More Information
Summary:Various systems, processes, and products may be used to filter multicast messages in virtual environments. In one implementation, hardware resources are virtualized to provide a plurality of virtual machines where a number of the virtual machines are configured to receive multicast messages. A network adapter is configured to receive a multicast filtering address from at least one of the number of virtual machines and hash the multicast filtering address to create a hash value. The hash value is linked to the virtual machine via a memory entry.
