Efficient means of combining network traffic for 64Bit and 31 bit workloads

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• a data bus coupled to the processor;
• and
• a computer-usable medium embodying computer program code, the computer-usable medium being coupled to the data bus, the computer program code used for separating network traffic within a network traffic combination environment into processing queues based on memory size addressability and comprising instructions executable by the processor and configured for:
• providing a memory type attribute, the memory type attribute comprising a first memory type attribute indication for a first memory size, the first memory type attribute indication indicating a communications width of the first memory size, and a second memory type attribute indication for a second memory size, the second memory type attribute indication indicating a communications width of the second memory size, the first memory size being different from the second memory size;
• providing a first input queue, the first input queue being configured according the first memory type attribute indication;
• providing a second input queue, the second input queue being configured according the second memory type attribute indication;
• separating network traffic into the first input queue and the second input queue based on memory size addressability, the separating network traffic being performed by an Open Systems Adapter (OSA) type network adapter, the OSA type network adapter using the first memory type attribute indication and the second memory type attribute indication when performing the separating, the OSA type network adapter presenting a host device driver with newly arrived data and generating an I/O interrupt to a host platform to allow the host device driver to process the newly arrived data;
• and
• providing the data to a respective communications stack based on an application addressable memory type, the application addressable memory type comprising a first addressable memory type and a second addressable memory type, the first addressable memory type comprising at least one of 31 bit addressable memory type and a 32 bit addressable memory type and the second addressable memory type comprises a 64 bit addressable memory type;
• and wherein
• the network traffic combination environment comprises a first transport layer and a second transport layer, the first transport layer comprising a first application program interface, a first middleware component and the first input queue, the second transport layer comprising a second application program interface, a second middleware component and the second input queue, the first transport layer and the second transport layer executing respective modes without requiring additional overhead.
