ABSTRACT:
A data packet transmission system is disclosed. The system comprises a processor (178) having a memory block (202) and a communication controller (204). The processor (178) stores a data packet (205), a buffer descriptor array (206), and a header (208) in the memory block (202). The buffer descriptor array (206) has a first plurality of elements (206b, 206d, 206f, 206h, 206i), each indicating a respective segment (205a-205e) of the data packet (206), and a second plurality of elements (206a, 206c, 206e, 206g), each indicating the header (208). The processor (178) supplies the location of the buffer descriptor array (206) to the communication controller (204). In response, the communication controller (204) transmits a plurality of cells (222, 224, 226, 228), each cell including the header (208) and a segment of the data packet (205), to a destination system (180).
