System and method for parsing, filtering, and computing the checksum in a host Ethernet adapter (HEA)
A system and method for parsing, filtering, and computing the checksum in a host Ethernet adapter (HEA) that is coupled to a host. The method includes receiving a part of a frame, wherein a plurality of parts of a frame constitute a entire frame. Next, parse the part of a frame before receiving the entire frame. The HEA computes a checksum of the part of a frame. The HEA filters the part of a frame based on a logical, port-specific policy and transmits the checksum to the host.
