ABSTRACT:
Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture, wherein in one implementation of the method a memory buffer is allocated in a host memory by a protocol processor, wherein the host memory is comprised in a host that is coupled to a network adapter. A packet is processed initially at the network adapter to generate data for offloading to the memory buffer in the host. The generated data is offloaded by the protocol processor to the memory buffer in the host. The offloaded data is processed by the protocol processor.
