ABSTRACT:
An offload system, method, and computer program product are provided. Based on an identified data structure, it is determined whether a hardware network interface is operating in a first mode or a second mode. The hardware network interface is coupled between a network and a processor. If it is determined that the hardware network interface is operating in the first mode, the packets are processed utilizing the processor. If it is determined that the hardware network interface is operating in the second mode, the packets are processed utilizing the hardware network interface.
