PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a single LAN adaptor that allows predetermined functions to be offloaded other devices. SOLUTION: A method, apparatus and computer program are provided for offloading functions to improve processor performance. A single LAN adaptor is provided that allows for predetermined functions to be offloaded to oter devices. Different methods are described for offloading functions. First, users and applications may pick and choose, on demand, only the functions that are to be offloaded. Second, a scheduler schedules those functions that are to be offloaded through a predetermined scheduler. Third, functions may be offloaded based on heuristic or learning methods which are stored in a knowledge database. COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT
