communication interface method for controlling actions between Socket interface and TOETCP offload Engine on Kernel

摘要

The present invention controls the connection between the socket interface and the TOE is used in an application (TCP offload Engine) a communication interface method . ; In the present invention, is fully compatible with existing socket interface available to implement the TOE socket interface . ; Thus, the generic socket layer switches and offload the protocol does not depend on the particular TOE to be able to build a processing layer can support a compatible socket interface on a variety of TOE. In addition, the data copy function implemented by non- offload protocol processing layer can improve the network performance of the server used by the TOE .
