Zusammenfassung:Methods and systems for routing frames are provided. A routing module of a network device stores a destination address for a virtual machine with a virtual bridge identifier associated with a virtual bridge. The virtual bridge identifier is associated with a queue pair that is used by the virtual machine to send and receive information using the virtual bridge. The network device also includes a port connected to a link for sending and receiving the information and the virtual bridge is associated with the port. The routing module is used to determine the destination of a frame whether the frame is sent by an external device or the virtual machine.
