Abstract
Network communication apparatus for connection to a computer that includes a host processor, a host memory and at least first and second root ports. The apparatus includes a network port, for connection to a packet communication network, and first and second host bus interfaces, for connection via respective first and second peripheral component buses to the first and second root ports, respectively. Packet processing logic is coupled between the network port and the first and second host bus interfaces and includes first and second direct memory access (DMA) engines to read data from the host memory via the first and second root ports, respectively, for transmission via the network port, while exposing the network port to the host computer only through the first host bus interface.
