TCP-AWARE RECEIVE SIDE COALESCING

In response to a transport control protocol (TCP) packet received from an Internet protocol (IP) layer of a TCP/IP stack of a data processing system, a large receive offload (LRO) layer of the TCP/IP stack is to identify a flow associated with the TCP packet, to determine whether the identified flow...

Zusammenfassung:	In response to a transport control protocol (TCP) packet received from an Internet protocol (IP) layer of a TCP/IP stack of a data processing system, a large receive offload (LRO) layer of the TCP/IP stack is to identify a flow associated with the TCP packet, to determine whether the identified flow should be coalesced based on a set of one or more rules, to coalesce the TCP packet into a pending coalesced TCP packet without immediately sending the TCP packet to a TCP layer of the TCP/IP stack, if it is determined that the identified flow should be coalesced based on the set of one or more rules, and otherwise to immediately send the TCP packet to the TCP layer for TCP processing.
