| 20090190495 | GENERAL MULTI-LINK INTERFACE FOR NETWORKING ENVIRONMENTS - A method, information processing system, and computer readable medium manage a plurality of network interfaces. A data packet is accepted at a pseudo network interface. The pseudo network interface manages a plurality of underlying physical network interfaces. The pseudo network interface selects selected physical network interface from the plurality of physical network interfaces for outputting the data packet. The data packet is modified to include a hardware address associated with the selected physical network interface in response to the selecting. The data packet that has been modified is forwarded to the physical network interface that has been selected. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20090190581 | OVERHEAD REDUCTION FOR MULTI-LINK NETWORKING ENVIRONMENTS - A method, computing node, and computer program storage product maintain network routing information. A first node receives a route status request from a second node. A status is stored at the first node indicating that a route from the second node to the first node is valid only in response to receiving the route status request. The first node transmits a route status reply to the second node. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20090193168 | INTERRUPT MITIGATION ON MULTIPLE NETWORK ADAPTERS - A method, information processing system, and computer readable medium, mitigate processor assignments. A first processor in a plurality of processors is assigned to a first communication port in a plurality of communication ports. An interrupt associated with the first communication port is generated. An assignment of a processor other than the first processor to handle the interrupt is inhibited. | 07-30-2009 |
