NETWORK INTERFACE SHARING IN MULTI HOST COMPUTING SYSTEMS

摘要

The present subject matter discloses methods and systems of network interface sharing in multiple host computing system (100) running multiple operating systems. In one embodiment, the multi-host computing system (100) comprises a network interface controller (118) configured to provide access to at least one communication network to a plurality of hosts of the multi-host computing system (100), a device interconnect logic (DIL) unit (120), communicatively coupled to the network interface controller (118), wherein the DIL unit (120) is configured to determine a first host, from amongst the plurality of hosts, wherein the first host controls the network interface controller (118), and a peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe)-to-PCIe network redirection engine (134) configured to transmit data between the plurality of hosts, based in part on control signals generated by the first host.
