Abstract
A method for dynamically changing a virtual network interface card (VNIC) binding. If the use of a hardware receive ring (HRR) is below the first threshold and the use of the software receive ring (SRR) is above the second threshold, then: binding the first VNIC to the SRR and the second VNIC to the HRR, removing the binding from the first VNIC to the HRR, removing the binding from the second VNIC to the SRR, and reprogramming a hardware classifier to send packets associated with the r VNIC to a second HRR and to send packets associated with the second VNIC to the HRR, reprogramming a software classifier to send packets associated with the first VNIC to the SRR, wherein the software classifier is associated with a soft ring (SR) and the SR is configured to obtain packets from the second HRR.
