Abstract

It has been shown that protocol processing represents a severe bottle-neck for high speed computer networks. The disadvantage of proposed solutions are their incompatibility with existing standardised protocol implementations and/or their complexity. One method of alleviating this limitation is to have an adaptable protocol stack, as proposed in this paper. Preliminary results are presented which show that significant gains in throughput can be achieved while still maintaining compatibility with existing standard protocol stacks
