    摘要: In a first aspect, a first method of transmitting a data packet is provided. The first method includes the steps of (1) for each connection from which a data packet may be transmitted, storing header data corresponding to the connection; (2) employing a user application to form header and payload data of a packet, wherein the user application is associated with a connection from which the packet is to be transmitted; and (3) while transmitting the packet, comparing one or more portions of the packet header data with the header data corresponding to the connection with which the user application is associated. Numerous other aspects are provided.

    摘要: A method and system for reducing memory accesses by inserting qualifiers in control blocks. In one embodiment, a system comprises a processor configured to process frames of data. The processor may comprise a plurality of buffers configured to store frames of data where each frame of data may be associated with a frame control block. Each frame control block associated with a frame of data may be associated with one or more buffer control blocks. Each control block, e.g., frame control block, buffer control block, may comprise one or more qualifier fields that comprise information unrelated to the current control block. Instead, qualifiers may comprise information related to an another control block. The last frame control block in a queue as well as the last buffer control block associated with a frame control block may comprise fields with no information thereby reducing memory accesses to access information in those fields.

    摘要: A mechanism for offloading the management of send queues in a split socket stack environment, including efficient split socket queue flow control and TCP/IP retransmission support. As consumers initiate send operations, send work queue entries (SWQEs) are created by an Upper Layer Protocol (ULP) and written to the send work queue (SWQ). The Internet Protocol Suite Offload Engine (IPSOE) is notified of a new entry to the SWQ and it subsequently reads this entry that contains pointers to the data that is to be transmitted. After the data is transmitted and acknowledgments are received, the IPSOE creates a completion queue entry (CQE) that is written into the completion queue (CQ). After the CQE is written, the ULP subsequently processes the entry and removes it from the CQE, freeing up a space in both the SWQ and CQ. The number of entries available in the SWQ are monitored by the ULP so that it does not overwrite any valid entries. Likewise, the IPSOE monitors the number of entries available in the CQ, so as not overwrite the CQ. The flow control between the ULP and the IPSOE is credit based. The passing of CQ credits is the only explicit mechanism required to manage flow control of both the SWQ and the CQ between the ULP and the IPSOE.

    摘要: Apparatus and method for storing network frame data which is to be modified. A plurality of buffers stores the network data which is arranged in a data structure identified by a frame control block and buffer control block. A plurality of buffer control blocks associated with each buffer storing the frame data establishes a sequence of the buffers. Each buffer control block has data for identifying a subsequent buffer within the sequence. The first buffer is identified by a field of a frame control block as well as the beginning and ending address of the frame data. The frame data can be modified without rewriting the data to memory by altering the buffer control block and/or frame control block contents without having to copy or rewrite the data in order to modify it.
