SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FACILITATING EFFICIENT PACKET FORWARDING IN A NETWORK INTERFACE CONTROLLER (NIC)

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18989854 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FACILITATING EFFICIENT PACKET FORWARDING IN A NETWORK INTERFACE CONTROLLER (NIC)

Original Abstract Submitted

A network interface controller (NIC) capable of efficient packet forwarding is provided. The NIC can be equipped with a host interface, a packet generation logic block, and a forwarding logic block. During operation, the packet generation logic block can obtain, via the host interface, a message from the host device and for a remote device. The packet generation logic block may generate a plurality of packets for the remote device from the message. The forwarding logic block can then send a first subset of packets of the plurality of packets based on ordered delivery. If a first condition is met, the forwarding logic block can send a second subset of packets of the plurality of packets based on unordered delivery. Furthermore, if a second condition is met, the forwarding logic block can send a third subset of packets of the plurality of packets based on ordered delivery.
