A technique is provided for facilitating writing of messages to multiple adapters connected to a high speed switch in a distributed computing environment. The technique employs a first, relatively quick filter to initially test whether a previously used adapter of the multiple adapters should be used to send a new message. If the first filter fails to select the previously used adapter, then the technique includes employing a second, more complicated filter to determine which adapter of the multiple adapters should be used to send the message. The first filter includes a first set of tests, and the second filter includes a second set of tests.
A method of selecting an adapter of multiple adapters of a switch node for transmission of a message, said method comprising:
A system for selecting an adapter of multiple adapters of a switch node for transmission of a message, said system comprising:
A system for selecting an adapter for transmission of a message in a distributed computing environment, said system comprising:
