Abstract

Systems and methods to share a plurality of virtual network interface controllers (vNICs) amongst a plurality of hostsare described. The described methods are implemented in a network sharing system (NISS) () including a programmable vNIC cluster () comprising the plurality of vNICs, where a set of vNICs from amongst the plurality of vNICs is dynamically configured to communicate with a host (-) from amongst the plurality of hosts (). Further, the NISS () includes a multi-host peripheral component interconnect (PCI) express (PCIe) interface and mapper (MHIP) () coupled to the programmable vNIC cluster (), to receive data packets from the set of vNICs, wherein the set of vNICs comprises one or more vNICs; and provide the data packets from the set of vNICs to the host (-) based on demultiplexing of the data packets.
