Abstract: A network node includes one or more network adapters and a bonding driver. The one or more network adapters are configured to communicate respective data flows over a communication network by applying a transport layer protocol that saves communication state information in a state of a respective network adapter. The bonding driver is configured to exchange traffic including the data flows of an application program that is executed in the network node, to communicate the data flows of the traffic via one or more physical links of the one or more network adapters, and, in response to a physical-transport failure, to switch a given data flow to a different physical link or a different network path, transparently to the application program.

Abstract translation: 网络节点包括一个或多个网络适配器和绑定驱动器。 一个或多个网络适配器被配置为通过应用在各个网络适配器的状态中保存通信状态信息的传输层协议来在通信网络上通信相应的数据流。 绑定驱动器被配置为交换包括在网络节点中执行的应用程序的数据流的流量，以经由一个或多个网络适配器的一个或多个物理链路来传送流量的数据流，并且作为响应 到物理传输故障，将给定的数据流切换到不同的物理链路或不同的网络路径，对应用程序是透明的。
