Full hardware based TCP/IP traffic offload engine(TOE) device and the method thereof

摘要

A full hardware based TCP/IP traffic offload engine (TOE) device and the method thereof are disclosed. The device includes a TOE interface and a TOE driver. With the designed socket API executing in the kernel of the operating system, the TOE interface and the TOE driver can effectively improve the input/output traffic load between network nodes without protocol stacking.
