A method and system of a low-latency FPGA framework based on reliable UDP and TCP re-assembly middleware is disclosed. The need for low-latency communication in digital systems has increased drastically. The disclosed FPGA framework enables low-latency communication as a hybrid framework that supports both UDP & TCP communication. As known in art, TCP provides error checking support hence making TCP more reliable as compared to UDP, while UDP is faster but not reliable. Hence the disclosed low-latency FPGA framework latency utilizes the advantage of both UDP and TCP by utilizing UDP for its speed, while switching to TCP in case of a missing sequence in UDP. Further, the disclosed system proposes a TCP re-assembly middleware architecture for processing TCP with a lower-latency, wherein the TCP re-assembly middleware is an independent middleware that is a modular and a plug-play independent middleware.

A method and system of a re-assembly middleware in FPGA for processing TCP segments into application layer messages is disclosed. In recent years, the communication speed in digital systems has increased drastically and thus has brought in a growing need to ensure a good/high performance from the FPGA services. The disclosure proposes a re-assembly middleware in the FPGA for processing TCP segments into application layer messages at a pre-defined frequency for a good/high performance. The pre-defined frequency is a high frequency performance feature of the re-assembly middleware, wherein the FPGA's implementation frequency is at atleast 300 MHz based on a memory optimization technique. The memory optimization technique includes several strategies such registering an output and slicing memories.
