Load balancing network adapter

摘要

Methods and systems for providing device-specific authentication are described. One example method includes receiving, by an input port of a network adapter within the computer system, a stream of network traffic; dividing, by load balancing logic within the network adapter, the received stream of network traffic into a plurality of substreams; and presenting the plurality of substreams to respective interfaces of the network adapter, each network adapter interface being accessible by an operating system executing on the computer system.

1. A method performed by one or more processes executing on a computer system, the method comprising:
receiving, by an input port of a network adapter within the computer system, a stream of network traffic including a plurality of network packets; dividing, by load balancing logic within the network adapter, the received stream of network traffic into a plurality of substreams each associated with a particular interface of the network adapter, wherein dividing the received stream of network traffic includes:
determining, for each network packet of the plurality of network packets in the received stream of network traffic, a particular substream to which the network packet is to be associated, andassociating the network packet with the particular substream; and presenting the plurality of substreams to the particular interfaces of the network adapter associated with each substream, each network adapter interface being accessible by an operating system executing on the computer system, wherein presenting a particular substream includes presenting the one or more network packets associated with the substream to the interface of the network adapter associated with the particular substream.
