Abstract

See full text

Inter-layer communication of events between different concurrent execution entities, where a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) layer instance executes in a first execution entity and a higher layer instance executes in a second execution entity. In an example transaction, the first execution entity receives a TCP packet, and the TCP layer instance in the first execution entity generates an event message by processing the received TCP packet. The TCP layer instance thereafter stores the event message in an event queue at the second execution entity. The second execution entity identifies the presence of the event message in the event queue (e.g., by polling) and updates a first data structure, subsequent to the processing of the event message by the higher layer instance in the second execution entity. In an embodiment, the updated first data structure corresponds to application control block (ACB) maintained for each TCP connection.
