ABSTRACT:
A computer system aggregates a plurality of network resources of a computer system. The plurality of network resources forms a bypass stack operable to provide offloaded connections to one or more applications available on the computer system. Each of the applications is associated with a first port number. The computer system itself is addressable on the network by a public IP address. The system assigns private IP addresses to uniquely identify each of the plurality of network resources. The system creates a socket for each application by which the application can communicate with the network. The socket is associated with a first endpoint tuple that includes the public IP address and the first port number associated with the application for which the socket is created. The socket is further associated with a set of bypass endpoint tuples that are translated from the first endpoint tuple, each of the set including a different one of the private IP addresses. Each of the bypass endpoint tuples is available to be a transport address to define an offloaded connection to the application through one of the network resources. The created socket can be a listening one at a server node or a connection one at a client node.
