IMPROVEMENTS RELATING TO REDUCTION OF RESOURCE USAGE IN TCP/IP IMPLEMENTATION

摘要

An embedded computing device and method for its use, the embedded computing device including a server application for receiving data transmitted to the embedded computing device under TCP/IP, wherein the server application is adapted to extract and buffer only predetermined portions of transmitted data which are necessary for correct operation of the embedded computing device. There is further disclosed an embedded computing device and method for its use, the device being adapted to transmit data under TCP/IP, which data is too large to be held by available RAM in the embedded computing device, wherein the embedded computing device is adapted to intermix dynamic data content which must be held in RAM with static data content which is held in ROM, and to separate the dynamic data held in RAM from the static data content held in ROM by way of a predetermined off-line calculation mechanism which generates discrete data packets each of which will fit into an MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit).
