Abstract
Apparatus for interfacing a computing device with a network includes a switch and an interface adapter. The interface adapter includes packet generation circuitry, for preparing a packet for transmission onto the network through the switch, and a buffer, coupled to receive and store the packet prepared by the packet generation circuitry. An output interface, coupled between the buffer and a first port of the switch, submits a notification to the first port that the packet has been prepared in the buffer. Upon receiving a response from the first port indicating that a second port of the switch, connected to the network, is ready to transmit the packet, the output interface conveys the packet to the first port, whereupon the first port passes the packet to the second port for transmission onto the network.
