Method and system for a user space TCP offload engine (TOE)

摘要

Certain aspects of a method and system for user space TCP offload are disclosed. Aspects of a method may include offloading transmission control protocol (TCP) processing of received data to an on-chip processor. The received data may be posted directly to hardware, bypassing kernel processing of the received data, utilizing a user space library. If the received data is not cached in memory, an application buffer comprising the received data may be registered by the user space library. The application buffer may be pinned and posted to the hardware.
