Abstract
In an approach to intelligent connection placement across multiple logical ports, a mapping table for a virtual machine is created. A connection request to connect a local port to a port on a peer device is received. Whether an entry exists in the mapping table for the port on the peer device is determined. Responsive to determining that an entry exists in the mapping table for the port on the peer device, whether a virtual function exists the port on the peer device in the mapping table for the same physical function is determined. A virtual function is selected from the mapping table to connect the local port to the port on the peer device.
