Managing connections through an aggregation of network resources providing offloaded connections between applications over a network

摘要

A computer system establishes offloaded connections over a network between requestor applications running on client nodes and server applications running on a server node. The connections are established through an aggregated plurality of network resources of the server node. Each of the aggregated plurality of server resources is operable to provide offloaded connections over the network and each is assigned to a unique private IP address. Connect queries are generated on behalf of requesting applications. Each of the connect queries specifies one of the server applications using a first endpoint tuple. The first endpoint tuple includes one of one or more IP addresses identifying the server node publicly on the network and a first port number uniquely identifying the server application. A valid set of bypass endpoint tuples are obtained that are translated from the first endpoint tuple specified in the query. Each tuple of the set includes a different one of the assigned private IP addresses. A connect request is issued over the network that specifies a selected one of the valid set of bypass endpoint tuples as the destination transport address for the connection.

establishing offloaded connections over a network between requesting applications running on client nodes and server applications running a server node, the connections established through an aggregated plurality of network interface resources of the server node, each network interface resource of the aggregated plurality operable to provide offloaded connections over the network and each network interface resource of the aggregated plurality assigned to a unique private IP address, said establishing comprising:
generating connect queries via the client nodes on behalf of requesting applications of the client nodes, each of the connect queries specifying one of the server applications using a first endpoint tuple, the first endpoint tuple comprising one of one or more IP addresses publicly identifying the server node on the network and a first port number uniquely identifying the server application;obtaining for a client node a set of bypass endpoint tuples translated from the first endpoint tuple specified in a connect query, each of the bypass endpoint tuples in the set comprising a different one of the assigned private IP addresses; andissuing a connect request from the client node to the server node over the network, the connect request specifying a selected one of the bypass endpoint tuples in the obtained set of bypass endpoint tuples as the destination transport address at the server node for an offloaded connection.
