Abstract: A smart NIC (Network Interface Card) is provided with features to enable the smart NIC to operate as an in-line NIC between a host's NIC and a network. The smart NIC provides pass-through transmission of network flows for the host. Packets sent to and from the host pass through the smart NIC. As a pass-through point, the smart NIC is able to accelerate the performance of the pass-through network flows by analyzing packets, inserting packets, dropping packets, inserting or recognizing congestion information, and so forth. In addition, the smart NIC provides a lightweight transport protocol (LTP) module that enables it to establish connections with other smart NICs. The LTP connections allow the smart NICs to exchange data without passing network traffic through their respective hosts.

Abstract translation: 智能NIC（网络接口卡）提供了功能，使智能NIC能够作为主机NIC和网络之间的串联NIC进行操作。 智能NIC为主机提供网络流的传递传输。 从主机发送的数据包通过智能NIC。 作为传递点，智能NIC能够通过分析数据包，插入数据包，丢弃数据包，插入或识别拥塞信息等来加速传递网络流的性能。 此外，智能NIC还提供了轻量级的传输协议（LTP）模块，使其能够与其他智能NIC建立连接。 LTP连接允许智能NIC交换数据，而不会通过其各自的主机传递网络流量。
