Abstract
A multi-endpoint adapter includes endpoints configured to couple to respective processing subsystems, multi-endpoint adapter ports configured to couple to an external switch via respective external switch ports, and an internal switch coupled to the endpoints and multi-endpoint adapter ports. The internal switch receives a data packet from a first application provided by a first processing subsystem through a first endpoint, and matches the data packet to a data flow associated with QoS parameter(s). The internal switch then identifies a data flow action that is associated with the data flow and that provides for the transmission of the data packet via a first multiple endpoint adapter port that is configured in a manner that satisfies the at least one QoS parameter, and performs the data flow action to transmit the data packet through the first multi-endpoint adapter port and a first external switch port to the external switch.
