Abstract
A method is disclosed for sharing a transport connection in a host having two or more processors that exchange limited inter-processor communications. Ranges of transport sequence numbers are assigned to the processors of the host, and a range assigned to a particular processor does not overlap with any other range assigned to any other processor. An outbound message is sent over the transport connection from a processor of the host, where the message includes a transport sequence number selected from the range assigned to that processor. An inbound message is received at a designated processor of the host that is configured to receive all inbound messages sent to the host over the transport connection.
