Abstract
Provided are a method, apparatus, system, and article of manufacture, wherein in certain embodiments a network adapter having an offload protocol stack receives a query. The offload protocol stack of the network adapter is configured to provide a programmable identity for the offload protocol stack of the network adapter. A response is generated to the query by processing the query in the configured offload protocol stack, wherein the response is based on the programmable identity. The generated response is sent by the network adapter.
