NETWORK INTERFACE CARD WITH RDMA CAPABILITY

摘要

A network interface device for connection to a data processing device and to a data network so as to provide an interface between the data processing device and the network for supporting the delivery of packets of a transport protocol, the network interface device being arranged to: transmit at least some of the content of the packets to the data processing device identify within the payloads of the packets data of a further protocol that represent a request to access memory of the data processing device; and on identifying such data apply a signal to a high priority processing function of the data processing device to enable that function to process the data.
