Abstract
Systems and methods that handle frames in multiple stack environments are provided. In one embodiment, a system may include, for example, a non-offload protocol stack and an offload protocol stack, the offload protocol stack being coupled to the non-offload protocol stack. The non-offload protocol stack may include, for example, one or more partially processed frames. The one or more partially processed frames may be sent to the offload protocol stack to complete processing in the offload protocol stack.
