ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a process for driving a network interface card. The process includes monitoring the status of a plurality of ports connected between a computer and a network. Detecting a failure in one of the plurality of ports connected to the network. Re-assigning data transmitted over the failed one of the plurality of ports to an active port of the plurality of portsdelete-start id="DEL-S-00001" date="20100622" ?selected in a round robin techniquedelete-end id="DEL-S-00001" ?. The process further including receiving data over one of the plurality of ports designated as a primary receiving port. Preferably, when the failed one of the plurality of ports is the primary receiving port, the receiving tasks are assigned to a next active portdelete-start id="DEL-S-00002" date="20100622" ?selected in a round robin techniquedelete-end id="DEL-S-00002" ?.
