- Abstract
- Today 1 Gbps Ethernet is dominating in the area of Internet space. As network speed goes up, the requests for the fast processing of the network packets are rising. LATONA (Leading Architecture for TCP/IP Offloading and Network Acceleration) accelerates network processing by using dedicated hardware engine and software for offloading the socket processing which is the creation and management socket information from host CPU. In this paper, we propose the hardware architecture and method for creation and management of LATONA based socket information. The Experimental results showed that the CPU overhead of the LATONA is less than the GNIC and LATONA architecture provides the binary compatibility for the BSD socket.
