ABSTRACT:
A computer system has an aggregated plurality of hybrid network resources. The hybrid resources support both offloaded connections with a first set of clients and conventional connections with a second set of clients. The conventional and offloaded connections are established through a common physical connection to a network. A unique protocol address is assigned to each of two or more active ones of the resources. A virtual layer2 device is exported for each of the two or more active resources. The assigned protocol addresses are exposed to a protocol stack residing in the operating system of the computer system. Each of the assigned protocol addresses are exposed through and associated with the virtual device exported for the one of the active resources to which the protocol address is assigned. One or more of the conventional connections are established with the second set of clients through the active resources and their respective virtual devices.
