Abstract
The present invention relates to a network communication method and a network system that enables received data to be transferred directly to the user data region, thereby eliminating the need to perform data copy operations. In the present invention, packets are each provided with received region assignment information (port ID) for showing the region in which the packet is to be received and/or division information for dividing the packet. The region which is to receive data contained in the packet is determined from a port table and conversion tables, and the packet data is transferred to the region directly.
