1. A system for dynamically scanning a plurality of active ports for work, comprising:

  • a first processor;

    a plurality of ports coupled to the first processor;

    a first tracking mechanism coupled to the first processor and configured to track low priority work for the plurality of ports with respect to a first designation of each port for each processor; and

    a second tracking mechanism coupled to the first processor and configured to track high priority work for the plurality of ports with respect to a second designation of each port for each processor, wherein;

    the first designation for the first processor is TRUE in the first tracking mechanism for each port at an initial time,the second designation for the first processor is FALSE in the second tracking mechanism for each port at the initial time, andthe first processor is configured to;

    scan the plurality of ports for high priority work,find first high priority work in a port,accept the first high priority work, andchange the second designation of the first processor to TRUE in the second tracking mechanism with respect to the port such that the first processor is allowed to perform the first high priority work on the port.
