Abstract

A mechanism for balancing message traffic in a multi-chassis fully interconnected computer system partitioned into multiple domains allows the system to identify I/O transactions, to route I/O transactions over inter-domain cables, and to route non-I/O transactions over intra-domain cables. This beneficially reduces message traffic congestion on intra-domain cables.
