Abstract

Certain embodiments of a method and system for handling connection setup in a network may comprise a host that generates connection acceptance criteria and/or a services list that may be transferred to a network interface hardware device for determining whether a remote peer connection request may be accepted. The network interface hardware device may generate connection primitives to complete the network connection setup after accepting the connection request. The network interface hardware device may wait for a response from the host before generating the connection primitives. The network interface hardware device may copy the host during connection setup. The host may provide and indication to the network interface hardware device to deny the connection request or to drop the connection after the connection has been setup. The network interface hardware device may maintain a connection state generated when the connection setup is completed.
