Patent ID: 11469960

Abstract:
Some embodiments provide a method for associating data message flows from applications executing on a host computer with network interfaces of the computer. The method of some embodiments identifies a set of applications operating on a machine executing on the host computer, identifies candidate teaming policies for associating each identified application with a subset of one or more interfaces, and generates a report to display the identified candidate teaming policies per application to a user. In response to user input selecting a first teaming policy for a first application, the method generates a rule, and distributes the rule, to the host computer to associate the first application with a first subset of the network interfaces specified by the first teaming policy. Similarly, in response to user input selecting a second teaming policy for a second application executing on the machine, the method generates a second rule, and distributes the second rule, to the host computer to associate the second application with a second subset of the network interfaces specified by the second teaming policy.
