Abstract

A method and devices for reducing the delay in end-to-end delivery of network packets may be achieved by having the transmission (TX) side of the device, tag each cell with a unique packet identifier and with a byte offset parameter where the tagging allows the reception (RX) side of the destination device to perform on-the-fly assembly of cells into packets by directly placing them at corresponding host buffer, and the method may be done for multiple packets concurrently, and hence store and forward buffering is not needed in either the source or the destination devices and the lowest possible end-to-end cut-through latency is achieved.
