Abstract :
To meet the increasing networking needs of server workloads, servers are starting to offload packet processing to peripheral devices to achieve TCP/IP acceleration. Researchers at Intel Labs have experimented with alternative solutions that improve the server´s ability to process TCP/IP packets efficiently and at very high rates.
