Abstract

Embodiments are generally direct to a method and apparatus to generate a data descriptor. In one embodiment, a data descriptor is generated for a block of data to be forwarded from a node to another node on a communication link. The data descriptor includes an indication to build a data packet containing at least a portion of the block of data in an accelerated or a non-accelerated manner.
