Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A fast send method may be selectively implemented for certain data packets received from an application for transmission through a network interface. When the fast send method is triggered for a data packet, the application requesting transmission of the data packet may be provided a completion notice nearly immediately after the data packet is received. The fast send method may be used for data packets similar to previously-transmitted data packets for which the information in the data packet is already vetted. For example, a data packet with a similar source address, destination address, source port, destination port, application identifier, and/or activity identifier may have already been vetted. A socket table may be maintained listing previously-transmitted data packets and an instruction for handling additional data packets similar to the data packet entered in the socket table.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: receiving, from an application, a first data packet for transmission over a network interface; identifying a similar packet in a socket table, wherein the socket table comprises information regarding previously received data packets, and wherein a similar packet is a previously received data packet in which information regarding the data packet is similar to information regarding the first data packet; and determining from the sock…
