Wireless interface sharing

Abstract

Described herein are methods and system for sharing a wireless interface () among various multiple host processors in a multi-processor computing system () to provide simultaneous access of a wireless network to the host processors. In one implementation the multi-host computing system (), comprises a wireless interface () configured to connect to at least one of a plurality of wireless networks; and a wireless network access virtualization (WNAV) processor () communicatively coupled to the wireless interface (), wherein the WNAV processor () is configured to multiplex data packets received from the plurality of hosts, transmit the multiplexed data packets to at least one of the plurality of wireless networks through the wireless interface (), receive data packets from one of the plurality of wireless network through the wireless interface () and route the data packets to each of the plurality of hosts based on a media access control (MAC) address associated with each of the plurality of hosts.
