Abstract
A method of offloading data intensive tasks from a processor, comprises, at a processor, preparing a TCP packet comprising a TCP header and a data payload, transmitting the TCP packet to a configurable logic device (CLD); and at the CLD, receiving the TCP packet, generating set of TCP segment packets containing, a copy of the TCP header, an incrementing segment sequence identifier, and a portion of the data payload, and transmitting the set of TCP segment packets on an external network interface.
