RECEIVING PACKET DATA - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17721771 Titled 'RECEIVING PACKET DATA'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method for receiving and handling packets in a network interface. The program configures the interface to store data from each received packet in packet buffers. If the data from a packet is too large for the assigned buffers, the excess data is stored in an overflow buffer. This allows for efficient deletion of the packet without any delays caused by handling the remaining data.
Original Abstract Submitted
Embodiments of the present disclosure include techniques for receiving and processing packets. A program configures a network interface to store data from each received packet in one or more packet buffers. If data from a packet exceeds the capacity of the assigned packet buffers, remaining data from the packet may be stored in an overflow buffer. The packet may then be deleted efficiently without delays resulting from handling the remaining data.
