Abstract
A system and method for processing a packet such as an inbound RDMA write packet in a network communication system. When processing the packet, a prefetch may retrieve a header of the next packet or, in the case of the inbound RDMA write packet, the prefetch may additionally retrieve an inbound RDMA send context. Subsequent to the prefetch beginning, processing of the packet may be completed and much of the overhead for processing of the next packet may have already completed. Other embodiments are also described.
