Method and system for receiving and sending network packets from a network is provided. The system includes, a host processor that executes an operating system for a host system and at least one application that runs in a context that is different from a context of the operating system; and a network adapter with a hardware device that can run a network protocol stack, wherein the application can access the network adapter directly via an application specific interface layer without using the operating system.
