Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Some embodiments provide a method for scheduling networking threads associated with a data compute node (DCN) executing at a host computer. When a virtual networking device is instantiated for the DCN, the method assigns the virtual networking device to a particular non-uniform memory access (NUMA) node of multiple NUMA nodes associated with the DCN. Based on the assignment of the virtual networking device to the particular NUMA node, the method assigns networking threads associated with the DCN to the same particular NUMA node and provides information to the DCN regarding the particular NUMA node in order for the DCN to assign a thread associated with an application executing on the DCN to the same particular NUMA node.
