ABSTRACT:
To reduce an overhead of the interrupt on a processor associated with packet send and receive control in a network, a packet send command chaining unit is provided. Based on the control field in each packet send command, a send node controls an interrupt request to the processor in the packet level and sends a packet set with the control information to a receive node. Based on the control field in the received data packet, the receive node controls a receive circuit interrupt request, thereby reducing the number of times the interrupt on the instruction processor is caused for each packet send and receive operation.
