NETWORK APPLICATION PROXY SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

Systems and methods disclosed herein receive a network application proxy (NAP)- extended API function call (210) issued by a networking-aware host application (107). The NAP-extended API function call (210) provides parameter values associated with a host off-loadable packet exchange sequence. Using the parameter values, a NAP module (116) intercepts and responds to one or more incoming network packets (222, 235) associated with the host off-loadable packet exchange sequence while the host processor is in a sleep mode state or is transitioning between sleep mode states.
