[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202411210897.0, filed on August 30, 2024, entitled "Flow Control Method and Apparatus for Server Network Port", the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field

[0003] This application relates to the field of computers, and in particular, to a method and apparatus for controlling the flow of a server network port. Background Technology

[0004] Network adapters are hardware devices used by servers to connect to networks. For multi-processor servers, each network adapter needs to be inserted into its corresponding processor slot to provide a network interface for that processor. However, this method of using network adapters cannot control the data transmission capacity of multiple network interfaces on a multi-processor server. Since the data transmission capacity of these multiple network interfaces is the same, when different network interfaces are configured to transmit different server data, some network interfaces may become overloaded while others are idle at the same time. Overall, network interface resources are not allocated reasonably, resulting in low efficiency in server network interface traffic control. Summary of the Invention

[0034] The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.

[0035] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0036] The methods and embodiments provided in this application can be executed in a server device or a similar computing device. Taking a server device as an example, FIG1 is a hardware structure block diagram of a server device for a server network port flow control method according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in FIG1, the server device may include one or more (only one is shown in FIG1) processors 102 (processors 102 may include, but are not limited to, microprocessors MCUs or programmable logic devices FPGAs, etc.) and a memory 104 configured to store data.

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the structure shown in FIG1 is only illustrative and does not limit the structure of the server device. For example, the server device may also include more or fewer components than shown in FIG1, or have a different configuration than shown in FIG1.

[0037] The memory 104 may be configured to store computer programs, such as application software programs and modules, like the computer program corresponding to the server network port flow control method in this embodiment. The processor 102 executes various functional applications and data processing by running the computer programs stored in the memory 104, thereby implementing the aforementioned method.

[0039] This embodiment provides a flow control method for a server network port, applied to a network adapter. The network adapter is used to connect to a multi-processor server, which is a server with multiple processors. The network adapter provides multiple network interfaces for the multi-processor server, with each network interface corresponding to one of the multiple processors. Figure 2 is a flowchart of the flow control method for a server network port according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 2, the process includes the following steps:

[0040] Step S202: Detect the service type of the server service processed by the processor corresponding to each of the multiple network interfaces, and obtain the network interfaces and service types with corresponding relationships. The service type is used to indicate the amount of server data to be transmitted by the network interface under the corresponding server service.

[0041] Step S204: Detect the data transmission level of each network interface among multiple network interfaces according to the corresponding network interfaces and service types. The data transmission level is used to indicate the data transmission capability requirements of the network interface for the server data to be transmitted under the corresponding server service.

[0042] Step S206: Assign data transmission parameters matching the corresponding data transmission level to each of the multiple network interfaces. The data transmission parameters are used to control the data transmission traffic of the network interface.

[0043] Through the above steps, since a multi-processor server is configured to connect to multiple processors, multiple network interfaces are provided for the multi-processor server. These multiple network interfaces correspond one-to-one with the multiple processors. The network adapter detects the service type of the server service processed by the processor corresponding to each of the multiple network interfaces. The service type indicates the amount of server data to be transmitted by the network interface under the corresponding server service. Based on the corresponding network interfaces and service types, the data transmission level of each of the multiple network interfaces is detected, indicating the data transmission capacity requirement of the server data to be transmitted by the network interface under the corresponding server service. Finally, each of the multiple network interfaces is assigned a corresponding... The data transmission parameters used to control the data transmission traffic of network interfaces, which are matched to the data transmission level, are specifically assigned to each network interface to control its data transmission traffic. These parameters are tailored to the data transmission capacity requirements of the server data to be transmitted under the corresponding server service. This ensures that the data transmission traffic of each network interface meets the network data transmission capacity requirements of the server data to be transmitted, achieving a reasonable allocation and control of the data transmission capacity of multiple server network interfaces. Therefore, it can solve the problem of low traffic control efficiency of server network interfaces and improve the efficiency of traffic control for server network interfaces.

[0044] Optionally, in this embodiment, the network adapter includes a multi-host network interface card (NIC). A multi-host NIC is a network interface card based on multiple host interfaces, which can split a single network interface into multiple physical interfaces, thereby improving network performance and reliability. The multi-host NIC enables direct connection from multiple hosts to a single network controller (e.g., a switch), achieving direct data access, reducing latency, and overcoming performance bottlenecks, thus maximizing the efficiency of data processing and data transmission. The multi-host NIC allows for flexible and heterogeneous data center designs, enabling direct data access while reducing costs and operating expenses.

[0045] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, a multi-processor server is a server with multiple processors. The multiple processors in the multi-processor server can be configured to handle different server services. For example, the four processors in a four-processor server can be configured to handle management services, handle ordinary service 1, handle ordinary service 2, and handle ordinary service 3, respectively.

[0046] In the embodiment provided in step S202, the service type of the server service processed by the processor may include, but is not limited to, management service type and service service type. The management service type is used to indicate that the amount of server data to be transmitted on the network interface under the corresponding server service is relatively small, and the service service type is used to indicate that the amount of server data to be transmitted on the network interface under the corresponding server service is relatively large.

[0047] In the embodiment provided in step S204, the data transmission level may include, but is not limited to, a first data transmission level and a second data transmission level. The first data transmission level is used to indicate that the data transmission capability requirement of the network interface for the server data to be transmitted under the corresponding server service is relatively small, and the second data transmission level is used to indicate that the data transmission capability requirement of the network interface for the server data to be transmitted under the corresponding server service is relatively large.

[0048] Optionally, in this embodiment, detecting the data transmission level of each network interface among multiple network interfaces based on the corresponding network interfaces and service types includes, but is not limited to, determining the data transmission level of the target network interface as a first data transmission level when the service type of the target network interface is detected to be a management service type, wherein the management service type corresponds to the first data transmission level; and determining the data transmission level of the target network interface as a second data transmission level when the service type of the target network interface is detected to be a service service type, wherein the service service type corresponds to the second data transmission level.

[0049] Optionally, in this embodiment, detecting the data transmission level of each network interface among multiple network interfaces based on the corresponding network interfaces and service types includes, but is not limited to, detecting the service type change parameters corresponding to each network interface within multiple flow control time periods prior to the current time. The service type change parameters indicate the number of times the service type corresponding to each network interface changes within multiple flow control time periods. If the service type change parameter is greater than or equal to a change parameter threshold, the data transmission level of the target network interface is determined as the fourth data transmission level. The change parameter threshold corresponds to the number of flow control time periods in which the service type change parameters are detected. If the service type change parameter is less than the change parameter threshold, the latest data transmission level before the current time is detected. The system first identifies the target service type of each network interface among multiple detected network interfaces. If the target service type of the target network interface is a management service type, its data transmission level is determined to be the third data transmission level. If the target service type is a service type, its data transmission level is determined to be the fifth data transmission level. The data transmission capacity requirement indicated by the third data transmission level is lower than that indicated by the fourth data transmission level, and vice versa. These steps prevent inaccurate service type detection from leading to incorrect data transmission level determinations for network interfaces, thus further avoiding the allocation of unreasonable data transmission parameters to various network interfaces.

[0050] In the embodiment provided in step S206, the data transmission parameter includes, but is not limited to, a percentage of the data transmission capacity provided by the network adapter, or a value representing a percentage of the total bandwidth of the network adapter. For example, the data transmission parameter may be a percentage of the total bandwidth of the network adapter (e.g., 50%), or it may be a bandwidth value.

[0051] As an optional implementation, data transmission parameters matching the corresponding data transmission level are assigned to each of the multiple network interfaces, including:

[0052] Based on the ratio between the first data traffic of the first network interface belonging to the first data transmission level within the first time period prior to the current time and the second data traffic of the second network interface belonging to the second data transmission level within the first time period, and the total data transmission parameters corresponding to the network adapter, a first total parameter is assigned to the first data transmission level and a second total parameter is assigned to the second data transmission level. Here, multiple network interfaces include one or more first network interfaces and one or more second network interfaces. The data transmission levels include a first data transmission level and a second data transmission level. The first data transmission level indicates that the data transmission capacity requirement of the server data to be transmitted by the network interface under the corresponding server service is less than or equal to a target requirement threshold. The second data transmission level indicates that the data transmission capacity requirement of the server data to be transmitted by the network interface under the corresponding server service is greater than the target requirement threshold. The first data traffic is the total amount of server data transmitted by the first network interface within the first time period, and the second data traffic is the total amount of server data transmitted by the second network interface within the first time period. The total data transmission parameters indicate the data transmission capacity that the network adapter is allowed to provide for multiple servers.

[0053] The first total parameter is assigned to one or more first network interfaces, and the second total parameter is assigned to one or more second network interfaces.

[0054] Optionally, in the embodiments of this application, the target demand threshold may be, but is not limited to, continuously adjusted based on multiple network port traffic control processes.

[0055] Optionally, in the embodiments of this application, when there are multiple first network interfaces, allocating the first total parameter to one or more first network interfaces includes, but is not limited to, distributing the first total parameter equally among the multiple first network interfaces or allocating the first total parameter to the multiple first network interfaces according to the data traffic volume of the multiple first network interfaces in the first time period; when there are multiple second network interfaces, allocating the second total parameter to one or more second network interfaces may include, but is not limited to, distributing the second total parameter equally among the multiple second network interfaces or allocating the second total parameter to the multiple second network interfaces according to the data traffic volume of the multiple second network interfaces in the first time period.

[0056] As an optional implementation, based on the ratio between the first data traffic of the first network interface belonging to the first data transmission level within a first time period prior to the current time and the second data traffic of the second network interface belonging to the second data transmission level within the first time period, and the total data transmission parameters corresponding to the network adapter, a first total parameter is assigned to the first data transmission level and a second total parameter is assigned to the second data transmission level, including:

[0057] The first data traffic is obtained by extracting the sum of the data traffic of the first network interface belonging to the first data transmission level within the first time period from the historical data traffic recorded by the network adapter, and the second data traffic is obtained by extracting the sum of the data traffic of the second network interface belonging to the second data transmission level within the first time period from the historical data traffic.

[0058] Calculate the first ratio between the first data traffic and the second data traffic;

[0059] The total data transmission parameters are divided according to the first ratio to obtain the first total parameter and the second total parameter.

[0060] The first total parameter is assigned to the first data transmission level, and the second total parameter is assigned to the second data transmission level.

[0061] Through the above steps, data transmission parameters are allocated to the first data transmission level and the second data transmission level according to the first ratio of the first data traffic and the second data traffic. When allocating data transmission parameters, the data traffic performance of the corresponding data transmission level in the first time period is taken into account, so that the allocated data transmission parameters match its data traffic requirements and improve the rationality of data transmission resource allocation.

[0062] As an optional implementation, data transmission parameters matching the corresponding data transmission level are assigned to each of the multiple network interfaces, including:

[0063] Assign preset total parameters to the first network interface belonging to the first data transmission level in the second time period before the current time, wherein multiple network interfaces include one or more first network interfaces;

[0064] Based on the third data traffic of each second network interface belonging to the second data transmission level during the second time period and the remaining total parameters, data transmission parameters are assigned to each second network interface. Multiple network interfaces include multiple second network interfaces. The data transmission levels include a first data transmission level and a second data transmission level. The first data transmission level indicates that the data transmission capacity requirement of the network interface for the server data to be transmitted under the corresponding server service is less than or equal to the target requirement threshold. The second data transmission level indicates that the data transmission capacity requirement of the network interface for the server data to be transmitted under the corresponding server service is greater than the target requirement threshold. Each third data traffic is the amount of server data transmitted by the corresponding second network interface during the second time period. The remaining total parameters are the difference between the total data transmission parameters corresponding to the network adapter and the preset total parameters. The total data transmission parameters indicate the data transmission capacity that the network adapter is allowed to provide for multiple servers.

[0065] Optionally, in this embodiment, the preset total parameter may be determined, but is not limited to, based on the maximum value of the data traffic transmitted by the first network interface belonging to the first data transmission level over a relatively long period of time.

[0066] By following the steps above, a preset total parameter is allocated to the first network interface belonging to the first data transmission level. While meeting the data transmission requirements of the first network interface, more data transmission capacity is reserved for the network interface belonging to the second data transmission level, which has relatively higher data transmission requirements. This makes the allocation of data transmission capacity more reasonable and improves the traffic control efficiency of the server network interface.

[0067] As an optional implementation, data transmission parameters are allocated to each second network interface based on the third data traffic of each second network interface belonging to the second data transmission level during the second time period and the remaining total parameters, including:

[0068] Extract the data traffic corresponding to the second network interface that belongs to the second data transmission level in the second time period from the historical data traffic recorded by the network adapter device, and obtain the second network interface and the third data traffic with corresponding relationship;

[0069] Calculate the second ratio between each third data traffic according to the corresponding second network interface and third data traffic;

[0070] The remaining total parameters are divided according to the second ratio to obtain the corresponding second network interface and data transmission parameters;

[0071] Assign the data transmission parameters to the corresponding second network interface.

[0072] As an optional implementation, the service type of the server service processed by the processor corresponding to each of the multiple network interfaces is detected, including:

[0073] Extract the data traffic corresponding to each network interface in the third time period before the current moment from the historical data traffic recorded by the network adapter device, and obtain the network interfaces with corresponding relationships and the fourth data traffic. The fourth data traffic is the amount of server data transmitted by the corresponding network interface in the third time period among multiple network interfaces.

[0074] Each fourth data traffic is converted into a unit data traffic per unit time, resulting in a network interface and unit data traffic with a corresponding relationship.

[0075] When the unit data traffic is less than or equal to the data volume threshold, the service type of the corresponding network interface is determined to be the management service type. The management service type corresponds to the first data transmission level. The data transmission level includes the first data transmission level, which is used to indicate that the data transmission capacity requirement of the server data to be transmitted by the network interface under the corresponding server service is less than or equal to the target requirement threshold.

[0076] When the unit data traffic exceeds the data volume threshold, the service type of the corresponding network interface is determined as the service service type. The service service type corresponds to the second data transmission level, which also includes a second data transmission level. The second data transmission level is used to indicate that the data transmission capacity requirement of the network interface for the server data to be transmitted under the corresponding server service exceeds the target requirement threshold.

[0077] Optionally, in the embodiments of this application, the unit time and the duration of the third time period may or may not have a corresponding relationship, and the shorter the duration of the third time period, the shorter the unit time.

[0078] Optionally, in this embodiment, the amount of server data to be transmitted on the network interface of a service-type business is generally larger under the corresponding server business, while the amount of server data to be transmitted on the network interface of a management-type business is smaller under the corresponding server business.

[0079] By taking the above steps, the service type of the network interface is determined by the unit data traffic per unit time corresponding to the third time period. The amount of server data to be transmitted is predicted based on the traffic performance over a period of time. This simple and accurate method determines the service type of the server service processed by the processor corresponding to the network interface, providing a basis for accurately and reasonably allocating data transmission parameters and improving the traffic control efficiency of the server network interface to a certain extent.

[0080] As an optional implementation, the service type of the server service processed by the processor corresponding to each of the multiple network interfaces is detected, including:

[0081] Each network interface is used as the target network interface to detect the target data type of the server data transmitted by the target network interface;

[0082] When the target data type belongs to the data type generated in the management business processed by the multi-way server, the business type of the server business processed by the processor corresponding to the target network interface is determined to be the management business type. The management business type corresponds to the first data transmission level. The data transmission level includes the first data transmission level, which is used to indicate that the data transmission capacity requirement of the server data to be transmitted by the network interface under the corresponding server business is less than or equal to the target requirement threshold.

[0083] When the target data type belongs to the data type generated in the service business processed by the multi-way server, the service business type of the server business processed by the processor corresponding to the target network interface is determined as the service business type. The service business type corresponds to the second data transmission level, which also includes the second data transmission level. The second data transmission level is used to indicate that the data transmission capacity requirement of the server data to be transmitted by the network interface under the corresponding server business is greater than the target requirement threshold.

[0084] By following the above steps, the service type of the server service processed by the processor corresponding to the network interface is determined based on the data type of the transmitted server data. This accurately reveals the service type of the server service processed by the processor corresponding to the network interface, ensuring the accuracy of the basis for allocating data transmission parameters.

[0085] As an optional implementation method, this application also provides a method for controlling network port traffic for two servers. Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of a two-way server network interface traffic control method according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 3, a single multi-host network card (i.e., network adapter) can be divided into two X8 network interfaces on two-way servers (i.e., multi-way servers). In the multi-host networking shown in Figure 3, a single network interface is split into two network interfaces, each of which is an X8 device. The network interfaces split from the two multi-host network cards on the same server are bonded (bonded and aggregated) respectively. For example, network interface PF0 is bound to network interface PF00 to generate logical network interface bond0, and network interface PF1 is bound to network interface PF01 to generate logical network interface bond1. In actual customer business deployment, bond0 can be used as the entry and exit point on the business side, and bond1 can be used as the entry and exit point on the management side. Customers can appropriately allocate the bandwidth limit ratio of bond0 and bond1 according to their own business categories. Usually, when the business volume is relatively large, the bandwidth ratio of bond0 can be increased, while the bandwidth ratio of the management entry point is usually smaller. This solution employs a relatively flexible allocation scheme, allowing traffic to be distributed between bond0 and bond1 in ratios such as 1:9, 2:8, 3:7, 4:6, and 5:5. This enables a reduction in the proportion of bond1 traffic and an increase in the proportion of bond0 traffic during periods of high business traffic, achieving a relatively reasonable resource utilization ratio and improving resource efficiency.

[0086] As an optional implementation, this application also provides a method for controlling network port traffic of a four-way server. Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of the traffic control method for a four-way server network port according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 4, in a four-way server (i.e., a multi-way server), a single-port multi-host network card (i.e., a network adapter) is split into four x4 network interfaces, namely PF0, PF1, PF2, and PF3; another single-port multi-host network card is split into four x4 network interfaces, namely PF00, PF01, PF02, and PF03. These interfaces can be bound and aggregated according to PF0 and PF00, PF1 and PF01, PF2 and PF02, and PF3 and PF03 respectively to obtain bond0, bond1, bond2, bond3, etc. This allows for more flexible traffic control allocation, with bandwidth allocated according to a 1:2:3:4 ratio or other custom ratios. Furthermore, traffic can be specifically allocated according to four types of services, such as management entry / exit, service entry / exit 1, service entry / exit 2, and service entry / exit 3, giving customers more choices. Typically, management-type inbound and outbound traffic can be configured with a minimum ratio of 1, while the other three service types can be configured with a total ratio of 9. The bandwidth allocation for the three service types inbound and outbound traffic is adjusted according to specific traffic performance, and can be in various ways such as 3:3:3 or 1:2:6. Bond0 can be configured as a management-type inbound and outbound traffic, while bonds1, 2, and 3 can be configured as service-type inbound and outbound traffic.

[0087] Optionally, in this embodiment, resource allocation for multiple network ports can be automatically completed by setting rate limits for the outbound and inbound ports of the multi-host network interface cards. A static service mode or a shared mode can be selected according to requirements. The static mode ensures fairness among hosts; the shared mode is a competitive mode that allows different devices with the same device to compete based on traffic. In the shared mode, more resources can be used.

[0088] As an optional implementation, this application also provides a server system, including: a network adapter and a multi-processor server, wherein the multi-processor server is a server with multiple processors, and the network adapter provides multiple network interfaces for the multi-processor server, wherein each of the multiple network interfaces corresponds to one of the multiple processors.

[0089] A multi-processor server is configured to handle corresponding server tasks using multiple processors.

[0090] The network adapter is configured to detect the service type of the server service processed by the processor corresponding to each of the multiple network interfaces, thereby obtaining a corresponding network interface and service type. The service type indicates the amount of server data to be transmitted by the network interface under the corresponding server service. Based on the corresponding network interface and service type, the adapter detects the data transmission level of each of the multiple network interfaces. The data transmission level indicates the data transmission capacity requirement of the network interface for the server data to be transmitted under the corresponding server service. Finally, the adapter assigns data transmission parameters matching the corresponding data transmission level to each of the multiple network interfaces, where the data transmission parameters control the data transmission traffic of the network interface.

[0091] The above server system, by providing multiple network interfaces for connecting multi-processor servers, ensures that each network interface corresponds one-to-one with a processor. The network adapter detects the service type of the server service processed by the processor corresponding to each network interface. The service type indicates the amount of server data to be transmitted by the network interface under the corresponding server service. Based on the corresponding network interfaces and service types, the system detects the data transmission level of each network interface, indicating the data transmission capacity requirement of the server data to be transmitted under the corresponding server service. Finally, each network interface is assigned a corresponding... The data transmission parameters used to control the data transmission traffic of network interfaces are matched with the data transmission level. That is, the data transmission parameters allocated to each network interface to control the data transmission traffic of the network interface are matched with the data transmission capacity requirements of the server data to be transmitted under the corresponding server service. This can control the data transmission traffic of each network interface to meet the network data transmission capacity requirements of the server data to be transmitted on each network interface, so as to achieve reasonable allocation of network data transmission capacity of multiple server network interfaces and reasonable control of data transmission traffic of server network interfaces. Therefore, it can solve the problem of low traffic control efficiency of server network interfaces and achieve the effect of improving the traffic control efficiency of server network interfaces.

[0092] As an optional implementation, the network adapter deploys multiple multi-host network interface cards (NICs), and the network adapter is also configured to aggregate the multiple network interfaces provided by the multiple multi-host NICs into multiple logical network interfaces that correspond one-to-one with the multiple processors.

[0093] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, multiple network ports separated from a multi-host network card are bound into a single logical interface, which can simplify network configuration and management and reduce network complexity.

[0094] Optionally, in this embodiment, bonding technology is used to modify the MAC addresses (Media Access Control Addresses) of multiple physical network interfaces to the same address, allowing these physical network interfaces to appear as a single logical interface in the network. Network bonding, also known as link aggregation, allows multiple physical network interfaces to be combined into a single logical interface, thereby increasing bandwidth, improving availability and redundancy, which is very practical for scenarios requiring high bandwidth and high availability.

[0095] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, the bandwidth ingress and egress rate limiting ratio of the logical network interface can be adjusted, but is not limited to, to ensure that the traffic on the customer's service side and the traffic on the management side can be allocated in an appropriate proportion.

[0096] By aggregating multiple network interfaces corresponding to the processor into a logical interface corresponding to the aforementioned processor through the above steps, the bandwidth of multiple physical links can be integrated together to provide higher total bandwidth for the corresponding processor.

[0097] As an optional implementation, the multiple multi-host network interface cards (NICs) include a first multi-host NIC and a second multi-host NIC, and the multiple processors include a first processor and a second processor. The first multi-host NIC provides a first physical network interface for the first processor and a second physical network interface for the second processor.

[0099] Optionally, in this embodiment, Figure 5 is a schematic diagram of the flow control method for two server network ports according to an embodiment of this application. As shown in Figure 5, the first multi-host network card and the second multi-host network card deployed in the network adapter provide a first physical network interface, a second physical network interface, a third physical network interface, and a fourth physical network interface for the multi-port server, respectively. The X16 pin of the first multi-host network card is divided into two parts, namely the X8 pin of the first physical network interface and the X8 pin of the second physical network interface. The X8 pin of the first physical network interface is assigned to the first processor, and the X8 pin of the second physical network interface is assigned to the second processor. The pin allocation method of the second multi-host network card is similar to that of the first multi-host network card. By configuring the physical addresses of the first physical network interface and the third physical network interface to the first physical address corresponding to the first processor, it is equivalent to providing the first processor with a first logical network interface with greater bandwidth. By configuring the physical addresses of the second physical network interface and the fourth physical network interface to the second physical address corresponding to the second processor, it is equivalent to providing the second processor with a second logical network interface with greater bandwidth.

[0100] Through the above steps, the first processor in the two servers is assigned a first physical network port provided by the first multi-host network card and a third physical network port provided by the second multi-host network card. The second processor is assigned a second physical network port provided by the first multi-host network card and a fourth physical network port provided by the second multi-host network card. The physical network ports corresponding to the same processor are aggregated, which allows for the adjustment of the server data transmission traffic between the first and second processors while enhancing the data transmission capability of the first and second processors, thereby improving the data transmission efficiency of the entire server system.

The third multi-host NIC provides a fifth physical network interface for the third processor, a sixth physical network interface for the fourth processor, a seventh physical network interface for the fifth processor, and an eighth physical network interface for the sixth processor. The fourth multi-host NIC provides a ninth physical network interface for the third processor, a tenth physical network interface for the fourth processor, an eleventh physical network interface for the fifth processor, and a twelfth physical network interface for the sixth processor. The third logical network interface includes... It includes the fifth physical network interface and the ninth physical network interface; the fourth logical network interface includes the sixth physical network interface and the tenth physical network interface; the fifth logical network interface includes the seventh physical network interface and the eleventh physical network interface; the sixth logical network interface includes the eighth physical network interface and the twelfth physical network interface; the third logical network interface and the third processor have a corresponding relationship; the fourth logical network interface and the fourth processor have a corresponding relationship; the fifth logical network interface and the fifth processor have a corresponding relationship; the sixth logical network interface and the sixth processor have a corresponding relationship; and multiple logical network interfaces include the fourth logical network interface, the fifth logical network interface, the sixth logical network interface, and the seventh logical network interface.

[0102] The third multi-host network interface card is also configured to: determine the physical address of the fifth physical network interface as the third physical address corresponding to the third processor, determine the physical address of the sixth physical network interface as the fourth physical address corresponding to the fourth processor, determine the physical address of the seventh physical network interface as the fifth physical address corresponding to the fifth processor, and determine the physical address of the eighth physical network interface as the sixth physical address corresponding to the sixth processor.

[0104] Optionally, in this embodiment of the application, Figure 6 is a schematic diagram of the flow control method of a four-way server network port according to the embodiment of the application. As shown in Figure 6, the third and fourth multi-host network cards deployed in the network adapter provide the fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth physical network interfaces, as well as the ninth, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth physical network interfaces, respectively, for the multi-way server. The X16 pin of the third multi-host network card is divided into four parts, namely the X4 pin of the fifth physical network interface, the X4 pin of the sixth physical network interface, the X4 pin of the seventh physical network interface, and the X4 pin of the eighth physical network interface. The X4 pin of the fifth physical network interface is assigned to the third processor, the X4 pin of the sixth physical network interface is assigned to the fourth processor, the X4 pin of the seventh physical network interface is assigned to the fifth processor, and the X4 pin of the eighth physical network interface is assigned to the sixth processor. The pin allocation method of the fourth multi-host network card is similar to that of the third multi-host network card. By configuring the physical addresses of the fifth and ninth physical network interfaces to the third physical address corresponding to the third processor, it is equivalent to providing the third processor with a third logical network interface with greater bandwidth. Similarly, by configuring the physical addresses of the sixth and tenth physical network interfaces to the fourth physical address corresponding to the fourth processor, it is equivalent to providing the fourth processor with a fourth logical network interface with greater bandwidth. Likewise, by configuring the physical addresses of the seventh and eleventh physical network interfaces to the fifth physical address corresponding to the fifth processor, it is equivalent to providing the fifth processor with a fifth logical network interface with greater bandwidth. Finally, by configuring the physical addresses of the eighth and twelfth physical network interfaces to the sixth physical address corresponding to the sixth processor, it is equivalent to providing the sixth processor with a sixth logical network interface with greater bandwidth.

[0105] Optionally, in this embodiment, multiple host network interface cards (NICs) are used instead of ordinary NICs for network bonding, enabling more individual network port functions to be implemented without changing the overall server slot size. The physical network ports separated by the multiple host NICs can be bonded together to achieve redundancy or aggregation.

[0106] Through the above steps, the third processor in the four-way server is assigned the fifth physical network port provided by the third multi-host network card and the ninth physical network port provided by the fourth multi-host network card; the fourth processor is assigned the sixth and tenth physical network ports provided by the third multi-host network card; the fifth processor is assigned the seventh and eleventh physical network ports provided by the third multi-host network card and the fourth multi-host network card; and the sixth processor is assigned the eighth and twelfth physical network ports provided by the third multi-host network card and the fourth multi-host network card. Furthermore, physical network ports corresponding to the same processor are aggregated. This allows for adjustment of the server data transmission traffic of the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth processors while enhancing the data transmission capacity of these processors, thereby improving the overall data transmission efficiency of the server system.
