SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MAXIMIZING PORT BANDWIDTH WITH MULTI-CHANNEL DATA PATHS

The present disclosure relates to a system and method for maximizing port bandwidth with multi-channel data paths. A networking adaptor and method of transferring data are depicted and described herein. One example of the networking adaptor is provided with a host interface and a network interface. The network interface may include a transmit portion and a receive portion. The transmit portion mayinclude a first set of data paths and the receive portion may include a second set of data paths. Both the first set of data paths and second set of data paths are configurable to be aggregated or de-aggregated to support a single port operation that represents a combined bandwidth of the data paths in the first set of data paths or the second set of data paths. 本公开涉及一种用多信道数据路径最大化端口带宽的系统和方法。本文中描绘和描述了一种联网适配器和传送数据的方法。所述联网适配器的一个实例具备主机接口和网络接口。所述网络接口可包含传输部分和接收部分。所述传输部分可包含第一数据路径组，且所述接收部分可包含第二数据路径组。所述第一数据路径组和所述第二数据路径组两者可经配置以聚合或解聚合以支持单端口操作，所述单端口操作表示所述第一数据路径组或所述第二数据路径组中的所述数据路径的组合带宽。
