Abstract

Various embodiments for hyper-channel management are disclosed. One such method is implemented by a network interface controller (NIC) residing in a server. This method involves determining a network component that is operable to create, modify, terminate, or any combination thereof, a hyper-channel. The hyper-channel corresponds to a logical abstraction of network resources associated with the server. The method also involves using the determined network component to manage the hyper-channel.
