摘要： A method and a network architecture for isolation of the network protocol stack from the operating system are provided. The network architecture may include an IO interface arranged to receive and transfer messages from/to the consumer application. The messages may carry high-level generic network device commands, targeted for execution by a particular protocol layer, to which protocol the messages pertain. The network architecture may further included an isolated network protocol stack arranged to process the high-level commands for execution and further arranged to generate device-specific command from the high-level commands, and an IO component arranged to execute the device-specific commands.

摘要： A method, computer program product, and distributed data processing system for directly sharing an I/O adapter that directly supports adapter virtualization and does not require an LPAR manager or other intermediary to be invoked on every I/O transaction is provided. The present invention also provides a method, computer program product, and distributed data processing system for directly creating and initializing a virtual adapter and associated resources on a physical adapter, such as a PCI, PCI-X, or PCI-E adapter. Specifically, the present invention is directed to a mechanism for sharing conventional PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) I/O adapters, PCI-X I/O adapters, PCI-Express I/O adapters, and, in general, any I/O adapter that uses a memory mapped I/O interface for communications. A mechanism is provided for directly creating and initializing a virtual adapter and associated resources within a physical adapter, such as a PCI, PCI-X, or PCI-E adapter. Additionally, each virtual adapter has an associated set of host side resources, such as memory addresses and interrupt levels, and adapter side resources, such as adapter memory addresses and processing queues, and each virtual adapter is isolated from accessing the host side resources and adapter resources that belong to another virtual or physical adapter.

摘要： A method of offloading, from a host data processing unit (205), the generation of data corruption-detection digests for iSCSI PDUs to be transmitted as TCP segments over respective TCP connections. An iSCSI layer processing software (310) executed by the host data processing unit provides a command descriptor list (320) containing command descriptors adapted to identify portions of at least one iSCSI PDU to be transmitted, and data corruption-detection digest descriptors (CRC DESC(PDUa); CRC DESC(PDUb)), each one associated with a respective PDU data corruption-detection digest. An iSCSI processing offload engine (223) transmits the iSCSI PDU over the respective TCP connection, based on the descriptors in the command descriptor list; during the transmission, the iSCSI PDU data corruption-detection digest are calculated, and the calculated data corruption-detection digest is saved in the corresponding data corruption-detection digest descriptor in the command descriptor list.
