ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the present invention, data is transmitted through a network in chunks. Chunks are self-describing units designed for high speed protocol processing. Packets act as envelopes for carrying chunks across a network. The self-describing nature of chunks allow them to be processed as they arrive at the receiver regardless of any misordering. The ability to process data without intermediate buffering for reordering or reassembly improves protocol processing performance. The chunks also distribute protocol data units control overhead over multiple packets.
