  • Patent number: 7213045
    Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for scheduling transmit network events in a multiprocessing environment. Each processing node handles its own linked list of transmit object queues and linked list of transport queues. Therefore efficient handling of the transmit network events is enabled. Queues may be added, made inactive, or removed depending on the status of a specific transmit event the queue handles. By maintaining queues in memory, the apparatus is easily scalable, in linear relationship with the size of the memory made available.

  • Patent number: 6760304
    Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for termination of received network events (i.e., a packet received from the network) in a multiprocessing environment. Each processing node may handle one or more receive object queues, which may be linked in a linked list fashion, as well as a linked list of application stream queues to enable efficient termination of the received network events. Queues may be added, made inactive, or removed, depending on the status of a specific receive event the queue handles. By maintaining queues in memory the apparatus is easily scalable, linearly with the size of the memory made available.
