Abstract

Techniques for accelerating network receive side processing of packets. Packets may be associated into flow groupings and stored in flow buffers. Packet headers that are available for TCP/IP processing may be provided for processing. If a payload associated with a header is not available for processing then a descriptor associated with the header is tagged as indicating the payload is not available for processing.
