摘要： The invention sets forth an approach for aggregating a plurality of NICs in a computing device into a single logical NIC as seen by that computing device's operating system. The combination of the single logical NIC and a network resource manager provides a reliable and persistent interface to the operating system and to the network hardware, thereby improving the reliability and ease-of-configuration of the computing device. The invention also may improve communications security by supporting the 802.1X and the 802.1Q networking standards.

摘要： A method of avoiding cache corruption when establishing a network connection includes the steps of transmitting a request to a computing device, where the request includes a masquerade layer-3 address, and receiving a reply transmitted by the computing device in response to the request, where the reply includes a MAC address associated with the computing device. Since the masquerade layer-3 address is unique relative to the computer network, computing devices within the network do no overwrite existing layer-3-to-MAC relationships in their respective caches with the layer-3-to-MAC relationship reflected in the request. Thus, the method enables a network connection to be initiated between two computing devices in the same computer network while avoiding neighbor cache pollution on other computing devices in that network.
摘要翻译：一种在建立网络连接时避免高速缓存损坏的方法包括以下步骤：向计算设备发送请求，其中请求包括伪装层3地址，以及响应于请求接收由计算设备发送的应答，其中回复包括与计算设备相关联的MAC地址。由于伪装层3地址相对于计算机网络是唯一的，所以网络内的计算设备不会覆盖它们各自的高速缓存中的现有的3层到MAC的关系，其中第3层到第5层的MAC关系反映在请求中。因此，该方法使得能够在同一计算机网络中的两个计算设备之间启动网络连接，同时避免在该网络中的其他计算设备上的相邻高速缓存污染。

摘要： One embodiment of the present invention is a method for identifying a faulty NIC in a team of NICs using a minimum number of packets transmitted in a round-robin scheme. Relative to prior art schemes, the disclosed method advantageously reduces the number of keep-alive packets necessary to monitor the NICs within a team and, to the extent there is a failure, enables the faulty NIC to be identified.

摘要： A hash table in the network device driver maintains data on the traffic characteristics for each network interface (“NIC”) within a computing device. If one of the NICs in the computing device becomes unreliable, the cost function in the hash engine allows the software driver to initiate network traffic redistribution among the remaining reliable NICs in the computing device. Using this hash engine, the software driver is able to intelligently redirect each of the network connections on an unreliable NIC to a reliable NIC within the computing device, in a way that optimizes the distribution of network traffic across the remaining reliable NICs. Alternatively, if a connection is moved from an old NIC to a new NIC, the software driver can detect the moved connection and offload the moved connection to a hardware offload engine on the new NIC. With this approach, issues such as network interface overloading and computing device performance degradation may be more easily avoided when failing over network connections, thereby improving overall system performance relative to prior art techniques.
摘要翻译：网络设备驱动器中的散列表维护关于计算设备内的每个网络接口（“NIC”）的流量特性的数据。如果计算设备中的其中一个NIC变得不可靠，则散列引擎中的成本函数允许软件驱动程序在计算设备中剩余的可靠NIC之间发起网络流量再分配。使用此散列引擎，软件驱动程序可以以优化跨剩余可靠NIC的网络流量分布的方式，将不可靠NIC上的每个网络连接智能地重定向到计算设备内的可靠NIC。或者，如果连接从旧NIC移动到新NIC，则软件驱动程序可以检测已移动的连接，并将移动的连接卸载到新NIC上的硬件卸载引擎。利用这种方法，当网络连接失效时，可能更容易地避免网络接口过载和计算设备性能下降等问题，从而相对于现有技术提高整体系统性能。

摘要： A method for identifying a failed network interface card in a system having two NICs configured as a team includes the steps of transmitting a first data packet from the first NIC to a third NIC, wherein the third NIC is not a member of the team, and transmitting a second data packet from the first NIC to the second NIC or from the second NIC to the third NIC, depending on whether the third NIC responds to the transmission of the first data packet. One advantage of the disclosed method is that it specifically identifies which NIC within the team has failed, which is something that cannot be determined by simply exchanging packets between the two NICs.
摘要翻译：一种用于识别具有配置为团队的两个NIC的系统中的故障网络接口卡的方法包括以下步骤：将第一数据包从第一NIC发送到第三NIC，其中第三NIC不是该组的成员，以及根据第三NIC是否响应于第一数据分组的传输，将第二数据分组从第一NIC发送到第二NIC或从第二NIC发送到第三NIC。所公开的方法的一个优点是它具体识别了团队中的哪个NIC失败，这是通过简单地在两个NIC之间交换分组不能确定的。

摘要： A hash engine in a network device driver maintains data on the utilization and error rate for each network interface card (“NIC”) within a local computing device. From this data, the hash engine intelligently selects transmit NICs and receive NICs based on 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. Similarly, address resolution protocol (“ARP”) response packets sent by the operating system in response to ARP request packets are intercepted, modified and redirected to receive NICs selected by the hash engine for transmission. By selecting receive NICs and transmit NICs in this fashion, the hash engine is able to intelligently load balance transmit and receive traffic in the local computing device, thereby improving overall network performance relative to prior art techniques.

摘要： One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a method for failing back network connections to a network interface card (NIC) within a computing device. The method includes the steps of monitoring a failed or unreliable NIC within the computing device, determining that the failed or unreliable NIC has recovered, determining that a functional NIC within the computing device is overloaded, selecting a first connection set communicating through the overloaded NIC, and transferring the first connection set to the recovered NIC. With this approach, intelligent decisions can be advantageously made regarding whether to fail back a network connection set to a recovered NIC based on the traffic loads on the overloaded NIC and the recovered NIC. Such an approach to balancing network traffic across the functional NICs within a computing device may substantially improve overall performance relative to prior art techniques.
