THE SOCKET FOR CONTROLLING ACTIONS BETWEEN SOCKET INTERFACE AND TOE(TCP OFFLOAD ENGINE) ON KERNEL AND COMMUNICATION INTERFACE METHOD BASED ON THE SOCKET

摘要

present invention, the purpose of the application in use socket interface and TOE (TCP offload Engine) between the connection providing a communication interface to provide a method of controlling them , and the kernel socket . According to the present invention , there is completely compatible with existing socket interface can be implemented as the TOE socket interface . ; Thus , to create a common socket switch layer and the offload protocol processing layer that does not depend on the TOE in a compatible socket interface can support on a variety of TOE. In addition, the data free copy functions implemented in offloading protocol processing layer can improve the network performance of the server used by the TOE .
