Abstract
Dedicating hardware devices to virtual machines includes dedicating, by a hypervisor executing on a computer system, a set of hardware devices of the computer system to a first virtual machine of the hypervisor, the first virtual machine executing a guest operating system, and the set of hardware devices for use by the guest operating system in execution of the guest operating system, and dedicating network device hardware of the computer system to a second virtual machine of the hypervisor, the second virtual machine being a different virtual machine than the first virtual machine, wherein network communication between the guest operating system and a network to which the computer system is connected via the network device hardware occurs via the second virtual machine.
