摘要:
A method of Ethernet virtualization using network packet alteration. The method comprises receiving network packets from a host destined for transmission over a network, checking whether the network packets have headers, if the packets do not have headers, forming a first portion of the header using firmware, storing the formed packet and header to a first memory; and forming a second portion of the header using programmable logic.

摘要:
A method, computer program product, and device are provided for transparent separation of traffic. A communication interface is configured to transmit and receive traffic over a network. A stack is configured to dynamically identify the traffic as interactive traffic and non-interactive traffic. When the stack identifies the non-interactive traffic, the stack is configured to move the non-interactive traffic to a non-interactive queue.

An incoming LAN traffic management system comprising: an I/O adapter configured to receive incoming packets from an Ethernet; a plurality of hosts coupled to the I/O adapter and each having a host buffer; a data router configured to block information received by the I/O adapter into memory locations from an SBAL associated with at least one of the plurality of hosts and in accordance with blocking parameters for the at least one of the plurality of hosts, the data router including an expiration engine configured to expire the SBAL before it is full if at least one predetermined threshold is exceeded.

摘要:
A method and an apparatus for providing concurrent patch in a computing network environment using microcode and having a queued direct I/O and a main memory in processing communication with an adapter. First it is allowed for a new level of microcode to be installed to an adapter without interrupting any running applications and/or services. It is then determined if the affected adapter is a network or a channel adapter. If the adapter is a channel adapter, applications using the channel adapter are to run without requiring any connection type information to be kept across any code updates. If the adapter is determined to be a network adapter, all adapter sessions are kept alive and activated while accessing information about any client station connected to a LAN and each present in said environment.

Inbound packets received by a physical network adapter of a processing device are routed by evaluating an inbound frame to determine if an inbound frame destination MAC address is associated with the processing device and determining whether the inbound frame should be routed to a corresponding logical interface or to drop the inbound frame if the inbound frame destination MAC address is equal to a virtual MAC address supported by the processing device. If it is determined that the inbound frame should be routed to the corresponding logical interface, then any necessary layer 3 functions are performed and the inbound frame is routed to the corresponding logical interface, thereby combining both layer 2 and layer 3 routing into a single logical function.
摘要:
A data connection of a shared resource is placed in isolation mode to remove its ability to communicate with other data connections of the shared resource. This ability to isolate the data connection is dynamic in that it can be turned on/off at any time. This provides increased data security for the entities using the data connection.
摘要:
A method, transceiver, and computer program storage product transfer data over fiber between a first transceiver and a second transceiver. The second transceiver is determined to support a high integrity cyclic redundancy check associated with substantially an entire data set in a Fiber Channel Protocol exchange between the first transceiver and the second transceiver. A last data frame in a plurality of data frames is formatted for communication to the second transceiver during the Fiber Channel Protocol exchange. The last data frame includes a plurality of data and at least one cyclic redundancy check field associated with the plurality data and at least one additional cyclic redundancy check field associated with the plurality of data frames.
