Abstract
There are disclosed processes and systems relating to protocol stacks. The protocol stack may be run entirely in a single memory space. There may be a communal memory region available to certain layers of the protocol stack. The layers of the protocol stack may form condensed versions of data and headers, and data units may be formed by hardware within the device when needed. After transmission, data units may be immediately deleted but recreated if needed for retransmission.
