Abstract
Examples include registering a device driver with an operating system, including registering available hardware offloads. The operating system receives a call to a hardware offload, inserts a binary filter representing the hardware offload into a hardware component and causes the execution of the binary filter by the hardware component when the hardware offload is available, and executes the binary filter in software when the hardware offload is not available.
