Abstract

This paper proposes an M-VIA-based channel bonding mechanism on Gigabit Ethernet to improve network bandwidths of cluster systems. M-VIA is a software implementation of a user-level communication protocol that replaces the time-consuming TCP/IP protocol in cluster systems. Channel bonding techniques manage multiple network cards as a virtual single network card and expand network bandwidth by sending data concurrently through the multiple network cards and their associated networks. According to experiments with two Gigabit Ethernet adapters, the M-VIA-based channel bonding mechanism on Gigabit Ethernet showed a bandwidth improvement of 29% over an M-VIA on a single channel.
