Abstract
Methods and apparatus for processing a network connection are disclosed. The network connection is established by a first network protocol stack. A determination is made whether to offload the network connection from the first network protocol stack to the second network protocol stack. The network connection is then transferred from the first network protocol stack to the second network protocol stack when a determination has been made to offload the network connection from the first network protocol stack to the second network protocol stack. The network connection is handled by second network protocol stack until a determination has been made to offload the network connection back to the first network protocol stack. When an indicator is received indicating a request to transfer the network connection back to the first network protocol stack, the network connection is transferred back to the first network protocol stack. State information associated with the network connection is shared by the two network protocol stacks, thereby enabling the network connection to be transferred seamlessly and without loss of data.
