Inbound packet placement in host memory

摘要

Provided is a method, system, and article of manufacture for inbound packet placement in host memory. A first packet for a buffer in memory is received and a descriptor is generated indicating a length of the first packet and a buffer address of the buffer. At least one subsequent packet following the first packet capable of fitting in the buffer with the first packet is received and a descriptor is generated for each received subsequent packet. The first packet and the at least one subsequent packet capable of fitting into the buffer are transferred to the buffer. The descriptors of the first packet and the at least one subsequent packet written to the buffer are added to a descriptor array.
