The network adapter resource allocation between the logical classification

摘要

That it provides a network adapter resource allocation between the [challenge] logical classification. [SOLUTION] In one embodiment, the network adapter has a physical port to be multiplexed into multiple logical ports, logical port has a default queue. The adapter also has the other queues that can be allocated to any logical port, and a resource that maps tuples queue. Tuples are derived from the data in the packet received through the physical port. Based on the resources and tuple received, the adapter determines which queue should receive the packet. If the tuple is passed to it is consistent with the resource, the adapter stores the packet in the corresponding queue. Otherwise, the adapter stores the packets in the default queue for the logical port specified by the packet. In response to receiving the request based on partitioning the allocation request, if there is no idle resources, resources already allocated to segments of choice may be selected for replacement. The selected resource is then allocated to the requesting division. [Selection] Figure Figure 1
