  • Systems and methods for PCI load balancing
    Patent number: 11726835
    Abstract: A method and apparatus of a device that load balances a first plurality of Peripheral Connect Interconnect ports is described. In an exemplary embodiment, the device detects a second plurality of PCI ports in the device. In addition, the device determines a load for each port in the first and second plurality of PCI ports and sorts the second plurality of PCI ports. The device further load balances the first plurality of PCI ports using at least a PCIe switch and the load determination of the second plurality of PCI ports. The device additionally communicates data between the first and second plurality of PCI ports.
