Abstract
A method for transmitting transmit data associated with a bi-directional data flow between a first host computer and a second host computer. The first host computer and the second host computer are coupled via a computer network. The method includes storing transmit-facilitating parameters employed for the transmitting the transmit data in a first control block. The first control block is implemented in the first host computer and associated with the bi-directional data flow. The transmitting the transmit data is performed in accordance with the TCP protocol. The method also includes employing the transmit-facilitating parameters in the first control block to facilitate servicing a transmit request pertaining to a given portion of the transmit data from the first host computer to the second computer. In accordance with this embodiment of the invention, the servicing the transmit request occurs simultaneously with servicing a receive request pertaining to receive data associated with the bi-directional data flow from the second host computer by the first host computer. The receive data is received using receive-facilitating parameters stored in a second control block implemented in …
