Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is a method for data traffic optimization within a virtual environment. The method may be implemented within a data center hosting virtual machines and using virtual switches for routing data traffic. The method includes instructing a virtual switch associated with a virtual machine to redirect one or more data packets directed to or from a first address associated with the virtual machine to a second address associated with data optimization virtual machine, wherein the redirection is based at least in part on an access control list, receiving, at the data optimization virtual machine, the one or more data packets redirected by the virtual switch, selectively performing one or more transformations on the one or more data packets to create one or more transformed data packets, and transmitting the one or more transformed data packets to the first address.
