ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method are provided to offload TCP/IP-related processing, where a server is connected to a plurality of clients, and the plurality of clients is accessed via a TCP/IP network. TCP/IP connections between the plurality of clients and the server are accelerated. The apparatus includes an accelerated connection processor and a target channel adapter. The accelerated connection processor bridges TCP/IP transactions between the plurality of clients and the server, where the accelerated connection processor accelerates the TCP/IP connections by prescribing remote direct memory access operations to retrieve/provide transaction data from/to the server. The target channel adapter is coupled to the accelerated connection processor. The target channel adapter executes the remote direct memory access operations to retrieve/provide the transaction data. The TCP/IP transactions are accelerated by offloading TCP/IP processing otherwise performed by the server to retrieve/provide transaction data.
