ABSTRACT:
An existing field of a descriptor is used to store metadata associated with a block of data to be transferred. The metadata is sent to a device using a special command when transferring the block of data from a memory to the device. The metadata is sent to the device using an existing bus. The metadata is sent to the device from the field of the descriptor. The metadata may carry packet boundary information, transmit status information, or receive status information.
