System and method for supporting multiple concurrent SL to VL mappings in a high performance computing environment

Abstract:

System and method for supporting multiple concurrent SL to VL mappings in a high performance computing environment. In accordance with an embodiment, systems and methods can provide for two or more SL to VL mappings per ingress switch port in a network switched fabric. By allowing for multiple such mappings, greater virtual lane independence can be achieved while continuing to achieve quality of service guarantees.
