Abstract:
A Network-Connected Device (NCD) includes a network interface, a host interface, an NCD memory and an NCD processor. The network interface is configured for communicating over a network. The host interface is configured for communicating with a host. The NCD memory is configured to buffer packet information that originates from the host and pertains to a packet to be transmitted to the network at a specified transmission time. The NCD processor is configured to process the buffered packet information before the specified transmission time, and to transmit the packet to the network at the specified time. Processing of the packet information and transmission of the packet are decoupled from buffering of the packet information.
