Solutions for Overhead in Server Networking
Transport Offload Engine (TOE)
Moves Transport processor cycles to the NIC
Moves TCP/IP protocol stack buffer copies
from system memory to the NIC memory
RDMA
Eliminates intermediate and application buffer copies
(memory bandwidth consumption)
Kernel Bypass – direct user-level access to hardware
Dramatically reduces application context switches
