Abstract
Technology related managing network ports in a virtualization environment is disclosed. In one example, a method includes, without using operating system control, bonding a plurality of physical ports into a link aggregation group accessible from a network interface. A device function can be assigned to a virtual machine. The device function can be used for communicating between the network interface and the virtual machine via an interconnect. The device function can be used to forward network traffic between the virtual machine and the network interface, and across the link aggregation group.
