VM-to-VM (on the same host) via a hardware-based virtual switch in an SR-IOV network interface card (NIC). VMDq can provide a hardware assist when the hypervisor softswitch is involved, or you can use hypervisor bypass and SR-IOV to attach VMs directly to VFs (virtual functions). Note that there are trade-offs as a result.)
