Abstract
Optimization of the Virtual Interface Architecture (VIA) on Multiprocessor Servers using Physically Independent Consolidated NICs (Network Interface Cards) allows for improved throughput, increased resiliency and transparent fail-over; and also by hiding the actual NICs involved in particular data transactions, enables operations with substantially unmodified applications software.
