Abstract

See full text

To reduce performance losses and costs associated with serializing parallel communications when communicating with other computing devices over a local area network (“LAN”) or a wide area network (“WAN”), bus virtualization is provided to maintain parallelization for inter machine communications over a network. Control lines and data lines associated with a parallel bus communication can be received by a network adapter, and instead of serializing the communications, the network adapter can map each of the control and data lines to respective virtual local area networks (“VLAN”). Multiple VLANs can exist together on a LAN or WAN while logically segmented, allowing the respective VLANs to facilitate communications for the control and data lines over the network.
