Abstract
A method of establishing network connections for a host computer (host) to access data storage at a data storage system (DSS) includes, by the DSS, allocating a set of M destination port identifiers (IDs) and incorporating them into a set of rules associating the IDs with corresponding core-affined receive queues, and performing receive flow steering of received host network traffic among the receive queues based on the rules. The host assigns the IDs to the network connections in a distributive manner and includes them in connection-establishment exchanges with the DSS, such that network traffic streams of the host cores use respective network connections and are consistently directed to corresponding DSS cores. The technique can provide for desired balance and alignment of storage network traffic, even in larger systems with many multi-core hosts, using only a small number of simple rules on the DSS.
