Abstract

A network adapter includes a network interface, a host interface and processing circuitry. The network interface connects to a communication network for communicating with remote targets. The host interface connects to a host that accesses a Multi-Channel Send Queue (MCSQ) storing Work Requests (WRs) originating from client processes running on the host. The processing circuitry is configured to retrieve WRs from the MCSQ and distribute the WRs among multiple Send Queues (SQs) accessible by the processing circuitry.
