Abstract
A system and method are provided for communicating data in a network utilizing a transport offload engine. Included is a data list object that describes how data communicated in a network is to be stored (i.e. placed, etc.) in memory (i.e. application memory). Stored in association (i.e. located, kept together, etc.) with the data list object is a sequence object. Such sequence object identifies a sequence space associated with the data to be stored using the data list object. To this end, the sequence object is used by a transport offload engine to determine whether or not incoming data is to be stored using the data list object.
