Abstract

Techniques are described herein that can be used to process inbound network protocol units. In some implementations, the techniques may process inbound DDP segments. In some implementations, a steering tag of an inbound network protocol unit may be used to access a context accessible to a network component. In some implementations, the context may include an array useful to determine whether all segments in a group have been received by the network component. In some implementations, the segments may be stored in a first buffer and transferred to a second buffer after all segments in a group have been received.
