Design methodology for device drivers supporting various operating systems network protocols and adapter hardware

摘要: An alterable device driver development system for supporting various operating systems, network protocols, and adapter hardware interfaces. Each comprises a System, Network Adapter software component, each component providing services to the other through its associated programming interfaces being or replaceable according requirements of an product. The System supports set defined by which can be used components. manages all interactions with protocol stack ensures applicability correctness in context operation. provides functions managing hardware. A Transformation Path improves performance mapping packet descriptors against data transferring processes.
