Abstract
Some embodiments provide a novel method for splicing Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) sockets on a computing device that processes a kernel of an operating system. The method receives a set of packets at a first TCP socket of the kernel. The method stores the set of packets at a kernel memory location sends the set of packets directly from the kernel memory location out through a second TCP socket of the kernel.
