<p>Methods and an apparatus capable of placing data packets received out of order directly into the memory of a receiving device is provided. In one embodiment, a method (Fig. 10) for receiving a byte stream at a host from a networked transmitting device is provided. The method initiates with a packet of a protocol data unit (PDU) being received (109). Next, a synchronization marker contained within the packet is located (192).Then, PDU parameters contained in the synchronization marker are read to determine a position of the received packet within the PDU (194) Next, the packet is written directly into memory of the host (196). A method for processing a byte stream to be transmitted to a host over a network is also provided. A device for processing a data stream to be transmitted over a network and a system configured to receive a byte stream from a networked transmitting device are also provided.</p> |
