Abstract
A computing device identifies a data packet received at a computing device. The computing device allocates memory having a fixed size to store the network data packet. A latency reducer identifies a free space in the memory allocation, the free space comprising a difference between the fixed size of the memory allocation and a size of the network data packet. The latency reducer creates a socket buffer list for the network data packet in the free space, the socket buffer list comprising a plurality of entries to serve as socket queue objects for a plurality of applications.
