Abstract
Disclosed is a system and methods for accelerating network protocol processing for devices configured to process network traffic at relatively high data rates. The system incorporates a hardware-accelerated protocol processing module that handles steady state network traffic and a software-based processing module that handles infrequent and exception cases in network traffic processing.
