Why <strong>TCP</strong>/IP Software is Slow<br />

• The OS copies the data onto the network interface card ‘s(NIC)<br />

send queue.<br />

• The NIC performs the direct memory access (DMA) transfer of<br />

each data packet from the <strong>TCP</strong> buffer space to the NIC, <strong>and</strong><br />

interrupts CPU to indicate completion of the transfer.<br />

•The two most popular methods to reduce the substantial CPU<br />

overhead that <strong>TCP</strong>/IP processing incurs are <strong>TCP</strong>/IP checksum<br />

offload <strong>and</strong> large send offload.<br />
