ABSTRACT:
Virtual network interfaces receive data from distinct subsets of receive rings of a network interface card. In other words, each virtual network interface “owns” its own subset of receive rings of the network interface card. The assignment of virtual network interfaces to particular receive rings of the network interface cards may be determined, for example, dynamically, based on priorities associated with particular virtual network interfaces, based on function type, and/or based on service need.
