Network Front-end Processors, Yet again.

The article discusses computer network front-end (NFE) processors, examining the trade-offs associated with the design of network stack software. The history of the NFE processor, also known as a TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) offload engine (TOE), is described. Topics include the choices made...

      ab: The article discusses computer network front-end (NFE) processors, examining the trade-offs associated with the design of network stack software. The history of the NFE processor, also known as a TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) offload engine (TOE), is described. Topics include the choices made concerning the location choice for network stack software, the host-based implementation of a network stack, and partitioning work related to executing communications protocols from the execution of applications which require certain protocols.
