Patent
Parallel i/o network file server architecture
TL;DR: In this article, a file server architecture consisting of a network controller unit, a file controller unit and a storage processor unit is described, which operate in parallel with a local Unix host processor.
Patent
TCP/IP offload network interface device
Laurence B. Boucher,Stephen E. J. Blightman,Peter K. Craft,David A. Higgen,Clive M. Philbrick,Daryl D. Starr +5 more
TL;DR: The Intelligent Network Interface Card (INIC) or communication processing device (CPD) as mentioned in this paper works with a host computer for data communication and provides a fast path that avoids protocol processing for most messages.
Patent
Fast-path apparatus for receiving data corresponding to a TCP connection
Laurence B. Boucher,Stephen E. J. Blightman,Peter K. Craft,David A. Higgen,Clive M. Philbrick,Daryl D. Starr +5 more
TL;DR: The Intelligent Network Interface Card (INIC) as discussed by the authors provides a fast path that avoids protocol processing for most large multi-packet messages, greatly accelerating data communication, and also assists the host for those message packets that are chosen for processing by host software layers.
Patent
Intelligent network storage interface system
TL;DR: In this paper, an interface device is connected to a host by an I/O bus and provides hardware and processing mechanisms for accelerating data transfers between a network and a storage unit, while controlling the data transfers by the host.
Patent
Network interface device that fast-path processes solicited session layer read commands
TL;DR: In this paper, a network interface device connected to a host provides hardware and processing mechanisms for accelerating data transfers between the host and a network, where some data transfers are processed using a dedicated fast-path whereby the protocol stack of the host performs no network layer or transport layer processing.
