Abstract

A network acceleration architecture for use with TCP, iSCSI and/or RDMA over TCP, including a hardware acceleration engine adapted for communication with and processing data from a consumer application in a system that supports TCP, iSCSI and RDMA over TCP, a software protocol processor adapted for carrying out TCP implementation, and an asynchronous dual-queue interface for exchanging information between the hardware acceleration engine and the software protocol processor, wherein the hardware acceleration engine and the software protocol processor are adapted to operate asynchronously and independently of one another.
