ABSTRACT:
A system and method are provided which significantly speed up the ability to reassemble network message transfer units (MTUs) using existing virtual memory systems. Discontiguous physical pages are rearranged in a continuous format in virtual memory by manipulating virtual page pointers in a hardware memory page table. The hardware memory page table provides any necessary virtual-to-real address translations during the execution of a process.
