Architecture

The Broadcom Advanced Server Program is implemented as an NDIS intermediate driver (see 

Figure 2

). It operates below

protocol stacks such as TCP/IP and IPX and appears as a virtual adapter. This virtual adapter inherits the MAC Address of the

first port initialized in the team. A Layer 3 address must also be configured for the virtual adapter. The primary function of

BASP is to balance inbound (for SLB) and outbound traffic (for all teaming modes) among the physical adapters installed on

the system selected for teaming. The inbound and outbound algorithms are independent and orthogonal to each other. The

outbound traffic for a particular session can be assigned to a given port while its corresponding inbound traffic can be
