PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide efficient techniques for decentralizing and redecentralizing network connections over network interface cards (NIC) by a computing device. SOLUTION: A hash engine in a network device driver maintains data on the utilization and error rate for each NIC within a local computing device. From this data, the hash engine intelligently selects transmit NICs and receive NICs on the basis of various networking parameters provided from a software driver program. Transmit packets sent from the operating system in a local computing device to a remote computing device are intercepted, modified and redirected to transmit NICs selected by the hash engine for transmission to remote computing devices. By selecting transmit NICs in this fashion, the hash engine is able to intelligently load balance transmit and receive traffic. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
